Given the joint density
for -y <x<y and 0 < y<1
f(x, y) :
elsewhere
show that the random variables X and Y are uncorrelated but not independent.
Transcribed Image Text:Given the joint density for -y <x<y and 0 < y<1 f(x, y) : elsewhere show that the random variables X and Y are uncorrelated but not independent.
Expert Solution
Step 1

The joint density function is given below:

|1 -y<x<y and 0< y <1
f (x.y) =
elsewhere
Step 2

The marginal density function of X is as follows:

The marginal density function of Y is as follows:

-jл
f(x)- [s(х)dy
J-0
| lcy
[ldy
= 1,
—у «х<у
f (v) = [ f(x.y)dx
X--y
| lax
0<y <1
= 2y,
Step 3

If the random variables X and Y are uncorrelated, we have to show that their covariance has to be Zero.

Cov (x,y) =0
E(xy) - E(x) E(y) = 0
