Consider the pair of random variables ( X , Y ) with joint PDF f X , Y ( x , y ) = 2 for 0 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ 1 and f X , Y ( x , y ) = 0 otherwise. (In particular, note that the joint PDF is only nonzero when x ≤ y .) (a) Draw a picture of the range of ( X , Y ) in the x y -plane. (b) Describe the conditional distribution of X given Y = y , for 0 ≤ y ≤ 1 . (c) What is the marginal PDF f X of X ? (d) Are X and Y independent?
