The joint pdf of two random variables is given as f_{X,Y}(x,y) = { C e^{-2x-y}, if x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, and x + y = 1, 0, otherwise, for some C ∈ ℑ. Define the random variable Z = X - Y. (a) Find C. (b) Are X and Y independent? Explain. (c) Find the distribution of Z.

Suppose X and Y are independent random variables with PDF given by: fx(x) = x/2 when 0 < x < 2, and zero otherwise fy(y) = y/2 when 0 < y < 2, and zero otherwise Find the PDF of Z = X+Y.
