P1(A) = 10*y
P1(B) = 20*y
P1(C) = 30*y
P1(D) = 20*y
b. (10 points) Function P2 is a function defined on the set of real numbers. P2 is defined as shown
below. Is there a value for y that makes P2 a valid probability density function? If yes, what is that
value? Justify your answer.
c. (10 points) Function P3 is a function defined on the set of real numbers. P3 is defined as shown
below. Is there a value for y that makes P3 a valid probability density function? If yes, what is that
value? Justify your answer.
P3(x) = 0 if x < 0
A P(B|A) B P(C|B)
P(A) T 0.8 T 0.2

a. (15 points) Given the above Bayesian network, compute P( (B=true) AND (C=false) ). Write the
complete expression and the final numerical answer
b. (15 points) In the above Bayesian network, compute P(B).Write the complete expression and the
final numerical answer
b (10 points). Suppose that you want to model the same probability distribution as in question a
but using a joint distribution table. How many values do you need to specify in that case?
