question 10

Essay

Use the definition for the conditional distribution of Y given X = x and the marginal distribution of X to derive the formula for Pr(X = x, Y = y). This is called the multiplication rule. Use it to derive the probability for drawing two aces randomly from a deck of cards (no joker), where you do not replace the card after the first draw. Next, generalizing the multiplication rule and assuming independence, find the probability of having four girls in a family with four children.
