The Linguist's Guide to Statistics . Let X be the stochastic variable which gives us the sum of two dice. 10 Solution Compute the entropy of variable X in Exercise 1.
Solution Consider the experiment of throwing two dice.
Let X be the stochastic variable which gives 1 if the sum of the two dice is 6, and 0 otherwise. And let Y be the value of the first die. Let X 1 be the stochastic variable which tells us whether the first letter is a vowel or a consonant, and let X 2 be the stochastic variable which gives the same information for the second letters. The variables in Exercise 5 are obviously not independent. Show this in at least three different ways.
