Answer:
a) f(x,y) = ; x = 0, 1 , 2; y = 0, 1 , 2; 0 ≤ x+y ≥ 2
b) =
Step-by-step explanation:
joint probability is a function that characterizes the distribution of a random variable. If X and Y be two random variables then the joint probability will be P(X = x, Y=y)
Given Data,
X = The number of blue Pens
Y = The number of red Pens
a)
possible outcomes(X, Y) are (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 2), (2,0)

f(x,y) = ; x = 0, 1 , 2; y = 0, 1 , 2; 0 ≤ x+y ≥ 2
b)
P(X,Y)∈A = P(X + Y ≤ 1)
= P(0,0) + P(1,0) + P(0,1)
