Chapter 1.3, Problem 1JC
In the 2004 Tour de France, Lance Armstrong made history by winning the race for an unprecedented sixth time. In 2005, he became the only 7-time winner and set a new record for the fastest average speed—41.65 kilometers per hour—that stands to this day. In 2012, he was banned for life for doping offenses, stripped of all of his titles and his records expunged. You can find data on all the Tour de France races in the data set Tour de France 2016. Here are the first three and last seven lines of the data set. Keep in mind that the entire data set has over 100 entries.
1. List as many of the W’s as you can for this data set.

- A restaurant serves three fixed-price dinners costing $12, $15, and $20. For a randomly selected couple dining at this restaurant, let X = the cost of the man's dinner and Y = the cost of the woman's dinner. The joint pmf of X and Y is given in the following table. p(x, y) 15 y 12 20 12 0.05 0.10 0.35 x 15 0.00 0.20 0.10 20 0.05 0.05 0.10 (a) Compute the marginal pmf of X. x 12 Px(x) Compute the marginal pmf of Y. y Pyly) 12 15 20 15 20 (b) What is the probability that the man's and the woman's dinner cost at most $15 each? (c) Are X and Y independent? Justify your answer. X and Y are independent because P(x, y) = Px(x) · Py(y). X and Y are not independent because P(x, y) =Px(x) · Pyly). X and Y are not independent because P(x, y) * Px(x) · Py(y). X and Y are independent because P(x, y) * Px(x) · Py(y).
