QUESTION:

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:

a. Find the marginal probability mass function of X.

b. Find the marginal probability mass function of Y.

c. Are X and Y independent? Explain.

d. Find \(\mu_{X}\) and \(\mu_{Y}\).

e. Find \(\sigma_{X}\) and \(\sigma_{Y}\).
