A class has 10 mathematics majors, 6 computer science majors, and 4 statistics majors. Two ofthese students are randomly selected to make a presentation. Let $X$ be the number of mathematicsmajors and let $Y$ be the number of computer science majors chosen.(a) Determine the joint probability mass function $p(x, y) .$ This generalizes the hypergeometricdistribution studied in Sect. $2.6 .$ Give the jobability table showing all nine values, ofwhich three should be $0 .$(b) Determine the marginal probability mass functions by summing numerically. How could these be obtained directly? [Hint: What type of rv is $X ? ]$(c) Determine the conditional probability mass function of $Y$ given $X=x$ for $x=0,1,2 .$ Compare with the $h(y ; 2-x, 6,10)$ distribution. Intuitively, why should this work?(d) Are $X$ and $Y$ independent? Explain.Determine $E(Y | X=x), x=0,1,2 .$ Do this numerically and then compare with the use oothe formula for the hyper geometric mean, using the hyper geometric distribution given in(e) Determine $E(Y | X=x), x=0,1,2 .$ Do this numerically and then compare with the use ofthe formula for the hypergeometric mean, using the hypergeometric distribution given inpart (c).(f) Determine $\operatorname{Var}(Y | X=x), x=0,1,2 .$ Do this numerically and then compare with the use ofthe formula for the hypergeometric variance, using the hypergeometric distribution given inpart (c).

The number 2 is also the smallest & first prime number (since every other even number is divisible by two).
If you write pi (to the first two decimal places of 3.14) backwards, in big, block letters it actually reads "PIE".
