A class consists of 21 students: 7 students are from Group 1, 9 students are from Group 2, and 5 students are from Group 3. A random sample of size 3 is selected without replacement. Let X denote the number of students selected from Group 2 and Y denote the number of students selected from Group 3. Write a formula for the joint pdf of X and Y

P(X=x, Y=y)=0

Two fair dice are rolled once. Let X denote the number of 3’s that appear, and Y denote the number of 4’s that appear. Define a new random variable Z = X + Y, where Z represents the total number of dice showing either 3 or 4. Find the probability P(Z ≤ 1).

P(Z ≤ 1)=8/9
