Question: Two ballpoint pens are selected at random from a box that contains 3 blue pens, 2 red pens, and 3 green pens. If X is the number of blue pens selected and Y is the number of red pens selected, find 235 (a) the joint probability function Ax, y), (b) P[(X, Y ) E A], where A is the region {(x, y)|x+y<1}.

A bank operates both a drive-up facility and a walk-up window. On a randomly selected day, let X be the proportion of time that the drive-up facility is in use (at least one customer is being served or waiting to be served) and Y be the proportion of time that the walk-up window is in use. The joint PDF is ... fxy (x, y) = 5 (x + y²) • What is the probability that neither window is busy more than one-quarter of the time? • What is f(X)? • What is fy(y)?
