Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that 

a..When considering the correlation coefficient, does it measure a linear, quadratic, or cubic relationship between the variables...

 

 

b.. When considering the correlation coefficient, how can you tell if there is a positive relationship, negative relationship, or no relationship between the variables....

We have given the joint probability density function of X and Y 

f(x,y)=(x+2y)/72.        for x=0,1,2

                                      for y=1,2,3,4

Then we have to find the marginal distribution of Y and sum of the probabilities of random variable Y is 1...
