Question

a) The continuous random variables X and Y have joint p.d.f. f(x,y) = { 2e^{-x-y}, 0 < x < y < ? 0, otherwise i) Show that the joint moment generating function of X and Y is M_{X,Y}(t_1, t_2) = 2 / [(1 - t_2)(2 - t_1 - t_2)]; t_2 < 1, t_1 + t_2 < 2 ii) Let U = X + Y and let V = X – 2Y. Without finding the joint p.d.f. of U and V, show that the joint m.g.f. of U and V is M_{U,V}(t_1, t_2) = 2 / [(1 - t_1 + 2t_2)(2 - 2t_1 + t_2)]; t_1 - 2t_2 < 1, 2t_1 - t_2 < 2 iii) Find the marginal m.g.f. of U and identify its distribution. {See Hogg, McKean and Craig, Appendix D, Pages 665-668 for a list of common distributions and their m.g.f's, which are denoted by m(t).} iv) Are U and V are independent? Give a reason for your answer.
