### Joint Probability Density Function of Continuous Random VariablesThe continuous random variables \( X \) and \( Y \) have a known joint probability density function \( f_{XY}(x, y) \) given by:\[ f_{XY}(x, y) = \begin{cases} \frac{c \cdot x}{y + 1} & \text{if } 0 \leq y \leq x \leq 1 \\0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \]where \( c \) is a positive constant. #### Tasks:a) **Determine the value of the constant \( c \):** Find \( c \) such that the function becomes a valid joint probability density function.b) **Marginal Probability Density Function \( f_X(x) \):** Using the result from part (a), obtain the marginal probability density function of the random variable \( X \).c) **Marginal Probability Density Function \( f_Y(y) \):** Using the result from part (a), obtain the marginal probability density function of the random variable \( Y \).d) **Verification of Functions:** Verify the results of parts (b) and (c) to ensure that the two probability density functions are valid.e) **Statistical Independence:** Determine whether the two random variables are statistically independent.f) **Expected Value \( E\{XY\} \):** Obtain the expected value of the product \( XY \).

2.
