A library subscribes to two different weekly news magazines, each of which is supposed to arrive in Wednesday�s mail. In actuality, each one may arrive on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Suppose the two arrive independently of one another, and for each one P(Wed.) = .3, P(Thurs.) = .4, P(Fri.) = .2, and P(Sat.) = .1. Let Y = the number of days beyond Wednesday that it takes for both magazines to arrive (so possible Y values are 0, 1, 2, or 3). Compute the pmf of Y.
