a. The constant c is 3/2

 

Only need solutions for e,f

**Problem Statement:**

2. Let \( X \) and \( Y \) be continuous random variables having the joint density function:

\[
f(x, y) = 
\begin{cases} 
c(x^2 + y^2) & \text{if } 0 \leq x \leq 1, \ 0 \leq y \leq 1 \\
0 & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
\]

Determine:

a) The constant \( c \)

b) \( P(X < 1/2, Y > 1/2) \)

c) \( P(1/4 < X < 3/4) \)

d) \( P(Y < 1/2) \)

e) The conditional distribution of \( X \) given \( Y = y \)

f) Whether or not \( X \) and \( Y \) are independent.
