The governments in two countries, Statland and Statopia, are proposing to change their national currencies to the Statto. The proportion of support for such a change within the population in Statland and Statopia are modelled by random variables X and Y respectively. It is thought that the joint density function for the two variables is of the form S k(2x +3y) for 0 < x < 1,0 < y < 1 O elsewhere f(x, y) = for some constant k. Give answers to the following to 2 decimal places. Part a) Find the value of k. 2/5 Part b) Find the probability that changing to the Statto has the support of more than half the population in each country. .375 Part c) Find the marginal density of the support for the Statto in Statland evaluated at the point X=1/2. 1 Part d) Find the marginal density of the support for th Statto in Statopia evaluated at the point Y=1/2. Part e) Find the conditional density of the support for the Statto in Statland given the support of a third of the population in Statopia. Evaluate this density at the point X=1/2.

Please answer the incorrect questions marked in red. Please make sure the answer is to the fourth decimal point. Thank you!
The governments in two countries, Statland and Statopia, are proposing to change their national currencies to the Statto. The proportion of support
for such a change within the population in Statland and Statopia are modelled by random variables X and Y respectively. It is thought that the joint
density function for the two variables is of the form
f(x, y) =
S k(2x + 3y) for 0 < x < 1,0 < y < 1
O elsewhere
for some constant k. Give answers to the following to 2 decimal places.
Part a)
Find the value of k.
2/5
Part b)
Find the probability that changing to the Statto has the support of more than half the population in each country.
.375
Part c)
Find the marginal density of the support for the Statto in Statland evaluated at the point X=1/2.
1
Part d)
Find the marginal density of the support for th Statto in Statopia evaluated at the point Y=1/2.
Part e)
Find the conditional density of the support for the Statto in Statland given the support of a third of the population in Statopia. Evaluate this density at
the point X=1/2.
