Let X and Y denote the lifetimes of two different types of components in an electronic system.

Question:

Let X and Y denote the lifetimes of two different types of components in an electronic system. The joint density of X and Y is given by

Show that X and Y are independent. [Hint: A theorem in multivariate probability theory states that X and Y are independent if we can write f(x, y) = g (x)h(y) where g(X) is a nonnegative function of X only and h(Y) is a nonnegative function of Y only.]
