Let X and Y be two random variables with the joint probability density function \(f_{X,Y}(x,y) = \begin{cases} 6xy & \text{if } 0 < y \le \sqrt{x} \le 1\\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\) Then, the conditional probability \(P(Y \ge \frac{1}{3} | X = \frac{2}{3})\) is

Step 1
This can be found by integrating the joint probability density function over the range of X. \[ f_Y(y) = \int_{0}^{1} 6xy \, dx = 3y \] Show more…

Suppose that the random variables Y1 and Y2 have joint probability density function f(Y1, Y2) given by 6y1Y2, 0 ≤ Y1+Y2 ≤ 2, f(Y1, Y2) = 0 elsewhere. Verify that this is a valid joint density function. What is the probability that Y1 + Y2 is less than 1?

The joint probability function of two discrete random variables X and Y is given by f(x,y) = cxy for x = 1,2,3 and y = 1,2,3, and equals zero otherwise. Find the constant c, P(X=2, Y=3), P(1 ≤ X ≤ 2, Y ≤ 2), P(X ≥ 2), P(Y = 3). Find the marginal probability function of random variables X and Y in question (5) above. Determine whether X and Y are independent. For the distribution of question (5), find the conditional probability function of: a) X given Y b) Y given X
