Answer #1

The Joint density function of the random variables X and Y is

a) The region is shown below

Now as total probability is 1, so

b)

As , X and Y are continuous random variables so their sum is also continuous .

Hence,

c) The marginal PDF's are given by

and

Hence,

and    

d) Using definition of conditional PDF we get

NOTE: As per rules, only 4 parts will be solved at a time
