Question
**2.4.1.** Show that the random variables \( X_1 \) and \( X_2 \) with joint pdf

\[
f(x_1, x_2) = 
\begin{cases} 
12x_1x_2(1-x_2) & 0 < x_1 < 1, \, 0 < x_2 < 1 \\ 
0 & \text{elsewhere} 
\end{cases}
\]

are independent.

**Explanation:**

The joint probability density function (pdf) is given by \( f(x_1, x_2) \). The function equals \( 12x_1x_2(1-x_2) \) only when both \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) fall between 0 and 1. Everywhere else, the function is 0. To determine if \( X_1 \) and \( X_2 \) are independent, one must check if the joint pdf can be expressed as the product of the individual pdfs of \( X_1 \) and \( X_2 \).
