Chapter 5.2, Problem 1E
Contracts for two construction jobs are randomly assigned to one or more of three firms, A, B, and C. Let Y1 denote the number of contracts assigned to firm A and Y2 the number of contracts assigned to firm B. Recall that each firm can receive 0, 1, or 2 contracts.
- a Find the joint
probability function for Y1 and Y2. - b Find F(1, 0).
