Usman rolls two dice colored purple and yellow simultaneously. The random variables X and Y are
defined as follows:
X = The number showing on the purple die.
Y = The number of dice that show the number six.
For example, if the purple and yellow dice show the numbers 6 and 4, then X = 6 and Y = 1.
a. Write down a table showing the joint probability mass function for X and Y.
b. Find the marginal distribution for X and Y.
c. Compute E(X) and E(Y).
d. Find the covariance of X and Y.
e. Find the correlation coefficient of X and Y.
