Step 1
If X and Y are independent, then P ( X , Y ) = P ( X ) P ( Y ).
Step 2
You can calculate the probabilities for the 4 cases of interest (both X and Y are equal to 0, 1, 2, 3) and add up the probabilities of the four cases, since the four cases are exclusive. That is,
P ( X = Y ) = P ( 0 , 0 ) + P ( 1 , 1 ) + P ( 2 , 2 ) + P ( 3 , 3 )
