**Problem Statement:**

The joint probability density function (pdf) of 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 \( E\{x|y=1\} \) and \( E\{x|y=0.5\} \).

(d) Determine whether \( x \) and \( y \) are independent.

(e) Find the correlation coefficient between \( x \) and \( y \).
