Let X denote the number of times a certain numerical control machine will malfunction: 1, 2, or 3 times on any given day. Let Y denote the number of times a technician is called on an emergency call. Their joint probability distribution is given below: a. Find the marginal distribution g(x), x = 1, 2, 3 b. Find the marginal distribution h(y), y = 1, 2, 3. c. List the cumulative distribution function F(x).
