The General Social Survey asked a sample of adults how many siblings (brothers and sisters) they had (X) and also how many children they had (Y). We show results for those who had no more than 4 children and no more than 4 siblings. Assume that the joint probability mass function is given in the following contingency table:
y | |||||
x | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
0 | 0.03 | 0.01 | 0.02 | 0.01 | 0.01 |
1 | 0.09 | 0.05 | 0.08 | 0.03 | 0.01 |
2 | 0.08 | 0.05 | 0.07 | 0.04 | 0.02 |
3 | 0.06 | 0.04 | 0.08 | 0.04 | 0.02 |
4 | 0.04 | 0.03 | 0.04 | 0.03 | 0.02 |
