A restaurant serves three fixed-price dinners costing $12, $15, and $20. For a randomly selected couple dining at this restaurant, let X= the cost of the man’s dinner and Y = the cost of the woman’s dinner. The joint pmf of X and Y is given in the following table:

a. Compute the marginal pmf’s of X and Y.
b. What is the probability that the man’s and the woman’s dinner cost at most $15 each?
c. Are X and Y independent? Justify your answer.
d. What is the expected total cost of the dinner for the two people?
e. Suppose that when a couple opens fortune cookies at the conclusion of the meal, they find the message “You will receive as a refund the difference between the cost of the more expensive and the less expensive meal that you have chosen.” How much would the restaurant expect to refund?
