(a) Determine the value of the normalization constant c.
(b) Find the marginal probability density function fx and state the name of the
distribution of X.
-3x-5y
(c) Find the conditional probability density function fy|x=z.
(d) Are the random variables X and Y statistically independent? Justify your answer.
Consider now a different joint probability density function for X and Y, namely
[12ye-3x-2y²
