Given p1 and p2 be positive real numbers less than 1 and let X and Y be discrete random
variables with joint probability mass function as shown above:
Find the marginal probability mass functions of X and Y. (Compute these functions in terms of p₁ and P2 only, not in terms of C. In other words, find the value of C.)
Determine if X and Y are independent, dependent, or if there is not enough information to determine this.
In this part, assume that p₁ = P₂ =p, then compute the probability mass function of X+Y.
