In a piston assembly, the specifications for the clearance between piston rings and the cylinder wall are very tight. In a lot of assemblies, let X be the number with too little clearance and let Y be the number with too much clearance. The joint probability mass function of X and Y is given in the table below:
Step 1 of 2
Given, the number with too little clearance is X and
The number with too much clearance is Y.
Then the joint probability mass function of X and Y is given in the table below.
