(a) Display the joint pmf of
x
and
Y
in a joint probability table. (b) Compute 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
.
{x,Y:x*Y<=1}
{x,Y:x+Y<=1}
{x,Y:x-Y>=1}
{x,Y:x+Y>=1}
{x,Y:x-Y<=1}
Calculate this probability. (d) What is the probability that at least one of the two hospitals has no beds occupied?
