6.34 As in Exercises 6.6, 6.10, and 6.20, in a study of the particulate pollution in air samples over a smokestack, X represents the amount of pollutants per sample when a cleaning device is not operating, and Y represents the amount per sample when the cleaning device is operating. Assume that (X, Y) has a joint probability density function f (x, y) = 1, 0, for 0≤x≤ 2;0 ≤ y ≤ 1; 2y ≤ x elsewhere.
