7. An urn contains 3 red balls and 3 blue balls. Balls are selected without replacement. Let $X =$ number of balls selected until the first red ball appears. $Y =$ number of additional balls selected until the second red ball appears For example, $P [X = 2, Y = 2] = P [B, R, B, R]$ a) Describe the joint probability function, $f (x, y)$ . b) Find the marginal probability functions $f_{X} (x)$ and $f_{Y} (y)$ . c) Compute $E (X), E (Y), Var (X), Var (Y)$ . d) Are $X$ and $Y$ independent? Explain mathematically.

7. An urn contains 3 red balls and 3 blue balls. Balls are selected without replacement. Let

X =

number of balls selected until the first red ball appears.

Y =

number of additional balls selected until the second red ball appears For example,

P [X = 2, Y = 2] = P [B, R, B, R]

a) Describe the joint probability function,

f (x, y)

. b) Find the marginal probability functions

f_{X} (x)

and

f_{Y} (y)

. c) Compute

E (X), E (Y), Var (X), Var (Y)

. d) Are

X

and

Y

independent? Explain mathematically.
