Question: Two discrete random variables X and Y have the joint probability mass function XY (,)={ x - y (1) x-y y!()!, =0,1,...,;=0,1,2,... 0, Where and

Two discrete random variables X and Y have the joint probability mass function

XY(,)={x-y(1)x-y\y!()!, =0,1,...,;=0,1,2,...

0,

Where and p are constants such with >0 and 0

a. The marginal distribution of X and Y

b. The conditional distribution of Y for a given X, and of X for a given Y

c. Pr{X>1}

Hint: For (a) the answer is X()=(x)!,=0,1,2,...; Y()=()\!, =0,1,2,...].

Show your work getting to these solutions. For you might want to use the infinite series expansion for the exponential function:=i=0 /! for all x. For review the CDF of the binomial distribution.
