**Problem 2: Joint Probability Density Function**

The joint probability density function (pdf) of the random variables \( x \) and \( y \) is given by:

\[ f_{xy}(x, y) = \frac{1}{2}, \quad 0 \leq x \leq y, \, 0 \leq y \leq 2 \]

Tasks:
- (a) Find the marginal pdfs \( f_x(x) \) and \( f_y(y) \).
- (b) Find the conditional pdfs \( f(x|y) \) and \( f(y|x) \).
- (c) Calculate the expected values \( E\{x|y=1\} \) and \( E\{x|y=0.5\} \).
- (d) Determine if \( x \) and \( y \) are independent.
- (e) Find the correlation coefficient.
