Distribution Theory — marginal and mean of a Poisson-Binomial mixture

Let XX and YY have joint probability mass function

P(X=x,Y=y)=e−2x!(y−x)!;x=0,1,2,…,y and y=1,2,3,…P(X=x, Y=y)=\frac{e^{-2}}{x!(y-x)!};\quad x=0,1,2,…,y \text{ and } y=1,2,3,…

With reference to the above, consider the following statements:

I. Y follows Poisson distribution with parameter 1/2.\text{I. } Y \text{ follows Poisson distribution with parameter } 1/2.

II. E(X)=1\text{II. } E(X)=1

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
