Question: Suppose that the joint density function for two continuous random variables X and Y is defined by f X;Y (x; y) = cx 2 y
Suppose that the joint density function for two continuous random
variables X and Y is defined by
fX;Y (x; y) = cx2y5, if 0 < x; y < 1
fX;Y (x; y) = 0, otherwise
(a) Determine the value of c.
(b) Determine the joint (cumulative) distribution function
FX;Y (x; y) = P(X <= x; Y <= y) of X and Y .
(c) Determine the (marginal) density functions fX(x) and fY (y).
(d) Are X and Y independent random variables? Justify your answer.
(e) Calculate P(X <= 0.25, Y <= 0.75) .
