(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).
