Question: Let X ~ Poisson(), Y ~ Poisson(), independent. It was shown in Theorem 4.3.2 that the distribution of X + Y is Poisson( + ).

Let X ~ Poisson(θ), Y ~ Poisson(λ), independent. It was shown in Theorem 4.3.2 that the distribution of X + Y is Poisson(θ + λ). Show that the distribution of X|X + Y is binomial with success probability θ/(θ + λ). What is the distribution of Y|X + Y?
