Question

What is ℙ(R=Y+1)?

A bag contains three red balls, two yellow balls, and two green balls. Suppose that we pick
three balls at random (without replacement). Let R denote the number of red balls we pick,
and Y the number of yellow balls we pick. Find P(R = 1, Y = 1) and P(R= 3, Y = 1).

In the set-up of Example 11.1, evaluate P(R = r, Y = y) for all possible values of R and
Y. Use your results to complete the following table for the joint p.m.f.:
R
1
2
