QUESTION:

Bolts manufactured for a certain purpose may be classified as acceptable (suitable for the intended purpose), downgraded (unsuitable for the intended purpose but acceptable for a different purpose), or scrap (unsuitable for any purpose). In a lot of 500 bolts, let X be the number that are downgraded and let Y be the number that are scrap. Assume that the joint probability mass function of X and Y is given in the following table.

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 \(\sigma_Y\).

f. Find \(\text {Cov}(X,Y)\).

g. Find \(\rho(X,Y)\).
