4. The discrete random variables \(X\) and \(Y\) have a known joint probability mass function \(P_{XY}(x, y)\) given by

\[
P_{XY}(x, y) =
\begin{cases} 
c & \text{if } x = 0, 1, 2, \ldots, 9, \, y = 0, 1, 2, \ldots, 9, \, y \geq x \\
0 & \text{otherwise} 
\end{cases}
\]

where \(c = \frac{1}{55}\).

a) Obtain the conditional PMF \(P_X(x \mid Y = y)\) of the random variable \(X\).

b) Obtain the conditional PMFs \(P_Y(y \mid X = x)\).

c) Determine \(E\{X \mid Y = 5\}\) and \(\text{var}\{X \mid Y = 5\}\).

d) Compare the results of part c) with the same results when there is no conditioning.
