Finite joint distribution: validating a joint mass table and aggregating marginals and events from one joint law
Given the support S={(0,0),(0,1),(1,0),(1,1),(2,1)} with masses p(0,0)=1/6, p(0,1)=1/3, p(1,0)=1/4, p(1,1)=1/12, p(2,1)=1/6, verify that (S,p) is a two-dimensional finite joint distribution; from this one joint law compute the marginals of X and Y, the rectangle event P(X∈{1,2}, Y=1) and the single-pair mass P(X=2, Y=0); finally construct a different joint law with the same marginals, showing that two marginals do not in general determine the joint distribution.
