3. Let X and Y have the joint p.d.f.
f(x,y)=2(x+y), 0<x<y<1.
Find the marginal p.d.f. of X and the marginal p.d.f. of Y. Determine whether Xand Y are independent.
The marginal PDF for X here is obtained as:
This is the required marginal PDF for X here.
The marginal PDF for Y here is obtained as:
This is the required marginal PDF for Y here.
We compute here:
which is not equal to f(x, y)
Therefore X and Y are not independent here.
