Let f ( x , y ) = 1 / 8, 0 y 4, y

Question:

Let (x, y) = 1/8, 0 ≤ ≤ 4, + 2, be the joint pdf of and Y.

(a) Sketch the region for which (x, y) 0.

(b) Find fX(x), the marginal pdf of X.

(c) Find fY(y), the marginal pdf of Y.

(d) Determine h(| x), the conditional pdf of Y, given that = x.

(e) Determine g(| y), the conditional pdf of X, given that = y.

(f) Compute E(| x), the conditional mean of Y, given that = x.

(g) Compute E(| y), the conditional mean of X, given that = y.

(h) Graph = E(| x) on your sketch in part (a). Is = E(| x) linear?

(i) Graph = E(| y) on your sketch in part (a). Is = E(| y) linear?
