Given the joint distribution P(X = i, Y = j) := p(i, j) as:
p(1, 1) = 8/32,
p(1, 2) = 8/32,
p(1, 3) = 4/32,
p(2, 1) = 4/32,
p(2, 2) = 2/32,
p(2, 3) = 6/32,
What is the best guess for X, given (i) Y=1 (ii) Y=2 (iii) Y=3?
What is the probability of error while making these best guesses,
in each case?
