Question

 As in Exercises 6.14 and 6.24, let X and Y denote the proportions of time out of one workweek that
employees I and II, respectively, actually spend performing their assigned tasks. The joint relative
frequency behavior of X and Y is modeled by the probability density function
f (x, y) =
. x + y, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1
0, elsewhere.
a If employee I works half of the time, what is the mean time that employee II works?
b If employee I works half of the time, what is the variance of the time that employee II works?
