A penny and a nickel are tossed. Both are fair coins. Let X = 1 if the penny comes up heads, and let X = 0 otherwise. Let Y = 1 if the nickel comes up heads, and let Y = 0 otherwise. Let Z = 1 if both the penny and nickel come up heads, and let Z = 0 otherwise. a) Let pXdenote the success probability for X. Find pX. b) Let pYdenote the success probability for Y. Find pY. c) Let pZdenote the success probability for Z. Find pZ. d) Are X and Y independent? e) Does pZ= pXpY? f) Does Z = XY? Explain.
