Question
### Joint Probability Density Function Setup

**Problem Statement:**
A joint probability density function (pdf) is given. A new random variable \( W \) is formed as shown: \( W = Y + X \). Determine an expression for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for \( W \). You do not need to solve non-trivial integrals. Just set them up.

**Graph Description:**
- The graph shows a line segment forming the boundary of a region on the coordinate plane.
- The line is linear, starting from \( (0, 3) \) on the y-axis and descending to \( (3, 0) \) on the x-axis.

**Mathematical Representation of the Joint PDF:**

\[ f_{XY}(x,y) = 
  \begin{cases} 
   \frac{20}{171} (y + x^2 y) & \text{if } 0 < y < 3, \, 0 < x < 3, \, y < -x + 3 \\ 
   0 & \text{otherwise} 
  \end{cases}
\]

**Instructions:**
To determine the expression for the CDF of \( W \), integrate the joint pdf over the appropriate region. This involves setting up the integrals for the region defined by \( W = Y + X \).
