Two discrete random variables X and Y have a joint probability mass function given in the table: (a) Calculate the marginal probability mass functions pX(x) and pY(y) of X and Y. (b) Are the random variables X and Y independent? Justify your answer. (c) Calculate P(X < 1, X < 2). (d) Find the probability mass function of the random variable Z = XY.

Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ have the following joint probability distribution: \begin{tabular}{cc|cc} & \multicolumn{2}{|c} {$x$} \\ \cline { 2 - 4 }$f(x, y)$ & 2 & 4 \\ \hline & 1 & 0.10 & 0.15 \\ $y$ & 3 & 0.20 & 0.30 \\ & 5 & 0.10 & 0.15 \end{tabular} (a) Find the marginal distribution of $X$. (b) Find the marginal distribution of $Y$.
