Suppose that X and Y are independent random variables with probability densities: g(x) = 8/x^3, x > 2 h(y) = 2y, 0 < y < 1 Find the expected value of Z = XY. Round your solution to three decimal places:

Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are independent random variables with probability densities and $$g(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{8}{x^{3}} \\0\end{array}\right.,$$ $$x>2$$ and $$h(y)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}2 y \\0\end{array}\right.,$$ $$0<y<1$$ Find the expected value of $Z=X Y$.
Mathematical Expectation
Chebyshov's Theorem
Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are independent random variables with probability densities and $$ g(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \frac{24}{x^{4}}, & x>2 \\ 0, & \text { elsewhere } \end{array}\right. $$ and $$ h(y)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} 2 y, & 0<y<1 \\ 0, & \text { elsewhere } \end{array}\right. $$ Find the expected value of $Z=X Y$.
