#### Joint Probability Mass Function (pmf) Analysis

A certain market has both an express checkout line and a superexpress checkout line. Let \( X_1 \) denote the number of customers in line at the express checkout at a particular time of day, and let \( X_2 \) denote the number of customers in line at the superexpress checkout at the same time. Suppose the joint pmf of \( X_1 \) and \( X_2 \) is given in the accompanying table.

#### Joint PMF of \( X_1 \) and \( X_2 \)

| \( X_1 \backslash X_2 \) | 0     | 1     | 2     | 3     |
|--------------------------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
| 0                        | 0.09  | 0.02  | 0.03  | 0.1   |
| 1                        | 0.09  | 0.05  | 0.05  | 0.04  |
| 2                        | 0.06  | 0.1   | 0.08  | 0.04  |
| 3                        | 0.07  | 0.05  | 0.04  | 0.06  |

1. **What is \( P(X_1 = 1, X_2 = 1) \)**, that is, the probability that there is exactly one customer in each line?
   \[
   P(X_1 = 1, X_2 = 1) = 0.05
   \]

2. **What is \( P(X_1 = X_2) \)**, that is, the probability that the numbers of customers in the two lines are identical?
   \[
   P(X_1 = X_2) = \sum_{i=0}^{3} P(X_1 = i, X_2 = i) = 0.09 + 0.05 + 0.08 + 0.06 = 0.28
   \]

3. Let \( A \) denote the event that there are at least two more customers in one line than in the other line. Express \( A \) in terms of \( X_1 \) and \( X_2 \).
