Let continuous random variables X, Y be jointly continuous, with the following joint distribution fXY(x,y) = e-x-y for x≥0, y≥0 and fXY(x,y) = 0 otherwise.
1) Sketch the area where fXY(x,y) is non-zero on x-y plane.
2) Compute the conditional PDF of Y given X=x for each nonnegative x.
3) Use the results above to compute E(Y∣X=x) for each nonnegative x.
4) Use total expectation formula E(E(Y∣X))=E(Y) to find expected value of Y.
