Suppose the two arrive independently of one another, and for each one P(Wed.) = 0.29, P(Fri.) = 0.19, and P(Sat.) = 0.13. Let Y= the number of days beyond Wednesday that it takes for both magazines to arrive (so possible Y values are 0, 1, 2, or 3). Compute the pmf of Y. [Hint: There are 16 possible outcomes; Y(W,W) = 0, Y(F,Th) = 2, and so on.] (Enter your answers to four decimal places.) 0 P(Y) 3
