Question
Suppose that the joint density function of the random variables X and Y is
f(x.y)=k(1+2y), if 1<x<11 and 0<y<1, and
f(x.y)=0, otherwise.
Show that the marginal distribution of X is
g(x)=c, if 1<x<11, and
g(x)=0 otherwise.
Enter the value of c.
Hint: Of course, first, you need to find the value of k.
Round your answer to a number with two decimal digits after the decimal point. For example if your answer is 1/40, which is equal to 0.025, then you should enter
0.03.
