Question
For the two random variables X and W, we have the following:
S6xw,
fx.w (x, w) =
0,
0sx< 1,0 < w s VX
otherwise
%3D
{3x²,
fx (x) =
lo,
0<x<1
otherwise
(a) Find the conditional probability density function of X given W = w.
(b) Evaluate Cov(X,W).
(c) Using your answer(s) to (a), (b), or otherwise, state (with clear reasons)
whether X and W are independent.
