- Suppose that the random variables X and Y have a joint density function given by: f(x,y)={cxy for 0≤x≤2 and 0≤y≤x, 0 otherwise c=1/2 P(X < 1), Determine whether X and Y are independentarrow_forwardSuppose the joint probability density of X and Y is fX,Y (x, y) = 3y 2 with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 1 and zero everywhere else. 1. Compute E[X|Y = y]. 2. Compute E[X3 + X|X < .5]arrow_forwardLet X and Y be a pair of continuous random variables with a joint density fx,y(x,y). Assume that fx,y(x,y) = cxy for x greater than or equal to 0, y greater than or equal to 0, and x + y less than or equal to 1. Here c is a constant. Assume that fx,y(x,y) is 0 elsewhere. What is the constant c equal to? With the value of c, what is E[XY]?arrow_forward
