The document discusses the marginal distributions of random variables W and Z, detailing the calculations for their respective functions. It also calculates the probability of obtaining at least one head, concluding that P(W ≥ 1) = 0.64. Additionally, it presents the joint probability density function of variables X, Y, and Z, and outlines the process for finding the joint marginal density function of Y and Z.

b) the marginal distribution of W


We’re looking for the function h( w) =  f ( z, w) . Reading from the table, we obtain:
z
1
h(0) =  f ( z,0) = f (0,0) + f (1,0) = 0.36 + 0 = 0.36
z =0
1
h(1) =  f ( z ,1) = f (0,1) + f (1,1) = 0.24 + 0.24 = 0.48
z=0
1
h(2) =  f ( z,2) = f (0,2) + f (1,2) = 0 + 0.16 = 0.16
z=0

c) the marginal distribution of Z


We’re looking for the function g ( z ) =  f ( z , w) . Reading from the table, we obtain:
w
2
g (0) =  f (0, w) = f (0,0) + f (0,1) + f (0,2) = 0.36 + 0.24 + 0 = 0.6
w= 0
2
g (1) =  f (1, w) = f (1,0) + f (1,1) + f (1,2) = 0 + 0.24 + 0.16 = 0.4
w= 0

d) the probability that at least 1 head occurs.


The probability that at least 1 head occurs is the probability that W ≥ 1. Therefore, we have
the following:
P(W  1) = 1 − P(W  1)
= 1 − P(W = 0)
= 1 − h(0) = 1 − 0.36 = 0.64
