1) Let the five r.v.'s $X_1,X_2,X_3, X_4, X_5$ have the multinomial distribution with parameters 15 and
$\frac{1}{15}, \frac{3}{15}, \frac{2}{15}, \frac{5}{15}, \frac{4}{15}$.
That is,
$(X_1,X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5) \sim M(15; \frac{1}{15}, \frac{3}{15}, \frac{2}{15}, \frac{5}{15}, \frac{4}{15})$.
(a) What is the joint distribution of $X_1, X_3, X_5$?

(b) What is the conditional joint distribution of $X_1, X_3, X_5$, given $X_2 = 3, X_4 = 5$?

(c) Find the joint m.g.f. of $X_2, X_4$.
(Hint: The joint m.g.f. of $X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5=?)
