I'm having difficulties reading this, could someone please explain to me?

2 coins
Ω = {HH, HT, TH, TT}
0 = Tails
1 = Heads
PX,Y(x,y) = P({TT} n {HH}) for (x,y) = (0,0)
P({HH, HT,TH} n {HH}) for (x,y) = (1,0)
P({TT} n {TT, TH, HT}) for (x,y) = (0,1)
P({HH,HT,TH} n {TH,HT,TT}) for (x,y) = (1,1)
0 otherwise

PX,Y(x,y) = P(0) for (x,y) = (0,0)
P({HH}) for (x,y) = (1,0)
P({TT}) for (x,y) = (0,1)
0 otherwise
PX,Y(x,y) = 0.25 for (x,y) = (1,0)(0,1)
0.50 for(x,y) = (1,1)
0 otherwiseThat's basically the lay out i was given.
im not sure how to read for(x,y) = (0,0) and the others similar to it.

Solved it thank you, if anyone is curious i forgot to mention that X = 0 if the outcome equals to TT and if X = 1 for the outcome if it equals to HH HT TT..
Y = 0 if the outcome is equal to HH
Y = 1 if the outcome is equal to HT TT TH

If your question is about how to read notation, the way you have presented the notation isn't coherent. For example, I think you are using "n" to mean the intersection symbol \cap.

If this notation comes from a problem, I suggest you post the problem in the homework section and quote the entire problem exactly.

Perhaps you can use LaTex: https://www.physicsforums.com/help/latexhelp/
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
