Suppose that X and Y have a joint probability density function
f(x,y)= 1, if0<y<1,y<x<2y; 0, otherwise.
(a) Compute P(X + Y less than or equal 1).
(b) Find the marginal probability density functions for X and Y , respectively.
(c) Are X and Y independent?
Suppose that the random variables X and Y have a joint density function given by:
f(x,y)={cxy for 0≤x≤2 and 0≤y≤x, 0 otherwise
c=1/2
P(X < 1),
Determine whether X and Y are independent
The PDF of a continuous random variable X is as follows:
f(X)= c(4x2 - 2x2) 0<* x <* 2 (*less or equal to)
a. For this to be a proper density function, what must be the value of c ?
