if 0 ≤ y <x< 1
otherwise
Find:
a) the probability that less than half the tank is stocked and less than a third of the tank is sold in a
random week;
b) the probability that the amount of gas sold is less than half of the amount stocked in a given week.

Find the marginal probability distributions of X and Y.
b) Show that the two random variables are not independent. Using part of your answer to a) is a much
shorter solution. Once you've done this with probability, using common sense is VERY straightforward.
