29. (a) pX(0) = 0.6, pX(1) = 0.4, pX(x) = 0 if x6= 0 or 1.
30. The probability mass function of Xis pX(x) = 1/6 for x= 1,2,3,4,5,or 6, and pX(x) = 0 for other
31. (a) The possible values of the pair (X, Y ) are the ordered pairs (x, y) where each of xand yis equal to 1,
2, or 3. There are nine such ordered pairs, and each is equally likely. Therefore pX,Y (x, y) = 1/9 for
x= 1,2,3 and y= 1,2,3, and pX,Y (x, y) = 0 for other values of (x, y).
(b) Both Xand Yare sampled from the numbers {1,2,3}, with each number being equally likely.
SUPPLEMENTARY EXERCISES FOR CHAPTER 2 107
32. (a) The values of Xand Ymust both be integers between 1 and 3 inclusive, and may not be equal. There
are six possible values for the ordered pair (X, Y ), specifically (1,2),(1,3),(2,1),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2).
Each of these six ordered pairs is equally likely.
Therefore pX,Y (x, y) = 1/6 for (x, y) = (1,2),(1,3),(2,1),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2), and pX,Y (x, y) = 0 for
other
values of (x, y).

35. (a) If the pooled test is negative, it is the only test performed, so X= 1. If the pooled test is positive,
then nadditional tests are carried out, one for each individual, so X=n+ 1. The possible values of
Xare therefore 1 and n+ 1.
