118. Suppose that (X, Y) is the outcome of an experiment that must occur in a particular region S in the xy-
plane. In this context, the region S is called the sample space of the experiment and X and Y are random
variables. If D is a region included in S, then the probability of (X, Y) being in D is defined as
P[(X, Y) e D] = || P(x, y)dx dy, where p(x, y) is the joint probability density of the experiment. Here,
D
p(x, y) is a nonnegative function for which
// P(x, y)dx dy = 1. Assume that a point (X, Y) is chosen
