- A restaurant serves three fixed-price dinners costing $12, $15, and $20. For a randomly selected couple dining at this restaurant, let X = the cost of the man's dinner and Y = the cost of the woman's dinner. The joint pmf of X and Y is given in the following table. p(x, y) 15 y 12 20 12 0.05 0.10 0.35 x 15 0.00 0.20 0.10 20 0.05 0.05 0.10 (a) Compute the marginal pmf of X. x 12 Px(x) Compute the marginal pmf of Y. y Pyly) 12 15 20 15 20 (b) What is the probability that the man's and the woman's dinner cost at most $15 each? (c) Are X and Y independent? Justify your answer. X and Y are independent because P(x, y) = Px(x) · Py(y). X and Y are not independent because P(x, y) =Px(x) · Pyly). X and Y are not independent because P(x, y) * Px(x) · Py(y). X and Y are independent because P(x, y) * Px(x) · Py(y).
