Question

I asked this question yesterday and got what looks like a computer generated answer that seems wrong. It iterates beteen similar mathematical states without apparent purpose and ands up in a non true statement as far as I can tell. I still need help understanding how to solve the problem and kindly ask to have one more go.

9.
Two discrete random variables X and Y have joint probability mass function
(pmf)
f(x) = {
k
n(n+1)
0
1,2, ..., n; y = 1, 2, . . . , x.
otherwise
Xx =
(d)
Use the fact that E(Y) = Ex (Ey\x(Y|X)), where Ex( ) and Ey|x( ) are the
expected values with respect to X and with respect to Y given X, respectively,
to show that E(Y) = n(n+³)
