Question: The continuous random variables X and Y have joint probability density function a) Determine f(x, y) = 1 x ex, 0 < y <


The continuous random variables X and Y have joint probability density function a) Determine f(x, y) = 1 x ex, 0 < y < x ,0 < i) f(x), the marginal distribution of X and ii) f(y/x), the conditional distribution of Y given X = x b) Show that, for non-negative integers m and n, (m + n)! E(Xmyn) = n+1 (7 Marks) c) Use the result proved in part (ii) to obtain E(X), Var(X), E(Y) and Var(Y). Find and interpret the value of the correlation between X and Y. (8 Marks) You may use without proof the result that for any non-negative integerr, 0 ure " edu = r]
