A fast-food restaurant operates both a drivethrough facility and a walk-in facility. On a randomly selected day, let X and Y, respectively, be the proportions of the time that thedrive-through and walk-in facilities are in use, and suppose that the joint density function of these random variables is:f(z, y) = {S{+2y), 0

For a certain psychiatric clinic suppose that the random variable X represents the total time (in minutes) that a typical patient spends in this clinic during a typical visit (where this total time is the sum of the waiting time and the treatment time), and that the random variable Y represents the waiting time (in minutes) that a typical patient spends in the waiting room before starting treatment with a psychiatrist. Further, suppose that X and Y can be assumed to follow the bivariate density function fXY(x,y)=λ2e−λx, 0<y<x, where λ > 0 is a known parameter value.
