Question

3) Of the 66 subsets of \{1, 2, ..., 12\} with exactly 2 elements, one is chosen uniformly at random. Let X be lesser element of this subset and let Y be sum of the elements of this subset. (i) Are the events \"X = 1\" and \"Y = 13\" independent? (ii) Are the random variables X and Y independent? (iii) What is Pr(Y \ge 17 | X \le 7)?
