A certain market has both an express checkout line and a superexpress checkout line. Let X1 denote the number of customers in line at the express checkout at a particular

time of day, and let X2 denote the number of customers in line at the superexpress checkout at the same time. Suppose the joint pmf of X1 and X2 is as given in the accompanying table. (a) What is P(X1 = 1, X2 = 1), that is, the probability that there is exactly one customer in each line? P(X1 = 1, X2 = 1) =________ (b) What is P(X1 = X2), that is, the probability that the numbers of customers in the two lines are identical?P(X1 = X2) =_________
