5.1.4 a) The range of (X,Y) is X ≥ 0, Y ≥ 0 and X + Y ≤ 4. Here, X is the number of pages with moderate
graphic content and Y is the number of pages with high graphic output among a sample of four
pages.
The following table is for sampling without replacement. Students would have to extend the
hypergeometric distribution to the case of three classes (low, moderate, and high).

5.1.5 a) The range of (X,Y) is X ≥ 0, Y ≥ 0, and X + Y ≤ 4.
Here, X and Y denote the number of defective items found with inspection devices 1 and 2,
respectively.

5.4.3 Let X and Y denote the number of patients who improve or degrade, respectively, and let Z denote
the number of patients that remain the same. If X = 0, then Y can equal 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. However, if
X = 4 then Y = 0. Consequently, the range of the joint distribution of X and Y is not rectangular.
Therefore, X and Y are not independent.
Var(X + Y) = Var(X) + Var(Y) + 2Cov(X,Y).
