Suppose we toss a pair of fair, seven-sided heptahedral polyhedron with seven faces, in which one of the heptahedral polyhedron is "white" and the other is "black". Let: X = the outcome on the white heptahedral polyhedron = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7} Y= the outcome on the black heptahedral polyhedron = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7} What is the probability that X takes on a particular value x, and Y takes on a particular value y? That is, what is P(X=x, Y=y)?

Question

Suppose we toss a pair of fair, seven-sided heptahedral polyhedron with seven faces, in which one of the heptahedral polyhedron is "white" and the other is "black". Let:

X = the outcome on the white heptahedral polyhedron = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}

Y= the outcome on the black heptahedral polyhedron = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}

What is the probability that X takes on a particular value x, and Y takes on a particular value y? That is, what is P(X=x, Y=y)?
