Determine E(X).

Suppose \( X \) and \( Y \) are continuous random variables with the following joint density function:

\[
f(x, y) = 
\begin{cases} 
3y, & \text{for } 0 \leq x \leq y \leq 1 \\ 
0, & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
\]

This function specifies the joint probability density of the random variables \( X \) and \( Y \) within the defined boundaries. The density is \( 3y \) where \( x \) and \( y \) satisfy \( 0 \leq x \leq y \leq 1 \), and zero otherwise.
