How do I myself compute the following probability

I tried to approximate binomial to a poisson distribution but this did not match the conditions since n is too small.
Afterwards I considered the event Y equal the square root of X as being an intersection of 2 independents events Which means this is equal to the probability of y times the probability of square root of x.
however, here the square root really confuses me and in general I have thought about it too much but I am stuck.

I am so sorry if I did not reply to the previous questions, but I can tell you that I checked all of the explanations. i can just say that this site is perfect. The people answering are experts and have deep knowledge of probability. I am really stunned. I’ve been stuck for many day on those questions and they help me solve it in just few minutes

In R:i = c(0,1,4); sum(dbinom(i,7,1/4)*dpois(sqrt(i), 3))
returns 0.0660885. Same as @BrianTung's Answer (+1). Also less elegantly, an approximation by simulationmean(replicate(10^6, rbinom(1, 7, 1/4)==(rpois(1,3))^2))
returns 0.066067, correct to three places.

Note that $X$ is constrained to be an integer between $0$ and $7$, and $Y$ is constrained to be an integer. That means that for $sqrtX = Y$ to hold, $X$ must be $0$, $1$, or $4$. I would compute these probabilities explicitly and just calculate
$$
P(X = 0)P(Y = 0) + P(X = 1)P(Y = 1) + P(X = 4)P(Y = 2)
