Q2: For a randomly selected student in a particular high school, let Y denote the

number of living grandparents of the student. What are the possible values of the
random variable Y ?
0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or more formally, Y 0,1, 2,3, 4
Q3: Suppose that A is a random variable. Also suppose that P T a P T a x
and that P 0 T a y . Find P(a T 0) in terms of x and y .

is a random variable, so

P T t 1 , where

t denotes any value for which T

is defined over the interval , i.e for any real value.

P T a P T a P 0 T a P a T 0 1
P a T 0 1 P T a P T a P 0 T a
P a T 0 1 x x y 1 y 2 x
