Need help with the last section please

When an automobile is stopped by a roving safety patrol, each tire is checked for tire wear, and each headlight is checked to see whether it is properly aimed. Let X denote the number of headlights that need adjustment, and let Y denote the number of
defective tires.
(a) If X and Y are independent with p,
Px(0)
0.5, Px(1)
= 0.3, Px(2)
= 0.2, and p(0) = 0.1, p(1) = 0.6, Py(2) = Py(3) = 0.05, Py(4)
= 0.2, display the joint pmf of (X, Y) in a joint probability table.

(b) Compute P(X < 1 and Y < 1) from the joint probability table.
P(X < 1 and Y < 1) = 0.56
Does P(X < 1 and Y < 1) equal the product P(X < 1) · P(Y < 1)?

O No
(c) What is P(X + Y = 0) (the probability of no violations)?
P(X + Y = 0) = 0.05
(d) Compute P(X + Y < 1).
P(X + Y < 1) =
