(b) Consider three (non-negative) random variables, X, Y, and Z. Let f(x, y, z) = kxyz² inside the following region E, and 0 elsewhere. The region E is defined as the region under the plane z = 4 - x - 2y and in the first octant (r ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, and z ≥ 0). What value must k take such that f(x, y, z) satisfies all of the conditions to be a probability density function? (c) Compute the probability P(Y > X). (d) Find the expected values of X, Y, and Z, denoting them as X, Ý, Ž respectively.
