An instructor has given a short quiz consisting of two parts. For a randomly selected student, let X = the number of points earned on the first part and Y = the number of points earned on the second part. Suppose that the joint pmf of X and Y is given in the accompanying table.

p(x, y)		0	5	10	15
x	0	0.01	0.06	0.02	0.10
	5	0.04	0.14	0.20	0.10
	10	0.01	0.15	0.16	0.01

(a) If the score recorded in the grade book is the total number of points earned on the two parts, what is the expected recorded score E(X + Y)? (Enter your answer to one decimal place.)

(b) If the maximum of the two scores is recorded, what is the expected recorded score? (Enter your answer to two decimal places.)
