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.

(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).
(d) What is the expected total cost, in dollars, of the dinner for the two people?
