**Section 4.4 - Exercise 18**

Let \( f(x, y) = 1/8, \, 0 \leq y \leq 4, \, y \leq x \leq y + 2 \), be the joint probability density function (PDF) of \( X \) and \( Y \).

(a) Sketch the region for which \( f(x, y) > 0 \).

(b) Find \( f_X(x) \), the marginal PDF of \( X \).

(c) Find \( f_Y(y) \), the marginal PDF of \( Y \).

(d) Determine \( h(y \mid x) \), the conditional PDF of \( Y \), given that \( X = x \).

(e) Determine \( g(x \mid y) \), the conditional PDF of \( X \), given that \( Y = y \).

(f) Compute \( y = E(Y \mid x) \), the conditional mean of \( Y \), given that \( X = x \).

(g) Compute \( x = E(X \mid y) \), the conditional mean of \( X \), given that \( Y = y \).

(h) Graph \( y = E(Y \mid x) \) on your sketch in part (a). Is \( y = E(Y \mid x) \) linear?

(i) Graph \( x = E(X \mid y) \) on your sketch in part (a). Is \( x = E(X \mid y) \) linear?
