A random point (X,Y,Z)(X,Y,Z) is chosen uniformly from within the sphere S={(x,y,z), where x^2+y^2+z^2≤1}}. Because the joint distribution is a continuous one, and because the volume of a sphere of radius r is (4π/3)r^3, the joint probability density function of (X,Y,Z)is just f_X,Y,Z(x,y,z)=(3/4π)  everywhere within the unit sphere, and 0 outside of it.

 

Given this, what is the joint probability density function for (X,Y)? Restated, what is f_X,Y​(x,y)? Derive and present a general analytic function for f_X,Y​(x,y), and verify your answer by evaluating f_X,Y​(1/11​,1/3​).
