Question
Suppose the location of a particle in the plane is restricted to be within the region of the first quadrant
enclosed by y = 0, y = x², and x = 1 and that the x- and y- coordinates of the point are described by

f(x, y) = axyI(0,1)(x) I(0,z²) (y)
59. Given this joint pdf,
(a) Find the value of a that makes this a valid pdf.
(b) Find P(X ≤ 1/2, Y ≤ 1/2).
(c) Find the marginal distribution of X, fx(x).
(d) Find the marginal distribution of Y, fy (y).
(e) Find P(Y≤ 1/2).
