A large but sparsely populated county has two small hospitals, one at the south end of the county and the other at the north end. The south hospital's emergency room has four beds, whereas the north hospital's emergency room has only three beds. Let X denote the number of south beds occupied at a particular time on a given day, and let Y denote the number of north beds occupied at the same time on the same day. Suppose that these two rv's are independent; that the pmf of X puts probability masses 0.3, 0.2, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.2 on the x values 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively; and that the pmf of Y distributes probabilities 0.4, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 on the y values 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

a. Display the joint pmf of X and Y in a joint probability table. b. Compute P(X # 1 and Y # 1) by adding probabilities from the joint pmf, and verify that this equals the product of P(X # 1) and P(Y # 1).c. Express the event that the total number of beds occupied at the two hospitals combined is at most 1 in terms of X and Y, and then calculate this probability.

Over the course of the school year, you keep track of how much snow falls on a given day and whether it was a snow day. your data indicates that of twenty-one days with less than three inches of snow, five were snow days, while of the eight days with more than three inches of snow, six were snow days. if all you know about a day is that it is snowing, what is the probability that it will be a snow day?
