Question:

When an automobile is stopped by a roving safety patrol, each tire is checked for tire wear, and each headlight is checked to see whether it is properly aimed. Let X denote the number of headlights that need adjustment, and let Y denote the number of defective tires.

a. If X and Y are independent with pX(0)  .5, pX(1)  .3, pX(2)  .2, and pY(0)  .6, pY(1)  .1, pY(2)  pY(3) 

.05, pY(4)  .2, display the joint pmf of (X, Y) in a joint probability table.

b. Compute P(X  1 and Y  1) from the joint probability table, and verify that it equals the product P(X  1) 

P(Y  1).

c. What is P(X Y  0) (the probability of no violations)?

d. Compute P(X Y  1).
