Problem
A box contains two coins: a regular coin and a biased coin with $P(H)=\frac{2}{3}$. I choose a coin at random and toss it once. I define the random variable $X$ as a Bernoulli random variable associated with this coin toss, i.e., $X=1$ if the result of the coin toss is heads and $X=0$ otherwise. Then I take the remaining coin in the box and toss it once. I define the random variable $Y$ as a Bernoulli random variable associated with the second coin toss. Find the joint PMF of $X$ and $Y$. Are $X$ and $Y$ independent?
