There are three types of balls in a box: 5 red, 3 blue and 2 green. You draw 3 balls at once (without replacement) from this box and record: Y1=the # of red balls, Y2=the # of blue balls that you drew. Find the joint probability distribution of Y1, Y2, by first writing the possible values for y1, y2 in rows and columns and then filling in the probabilities within this table. Then check that the sum of the entries in the table equals 1.
