Question
The lifetime (in months) of two components in a certain device
are random variables X and Y that have joint probability distribution
function
9216 (48 – 2x – y)
if x 2 0, y 2 0, 2x +y < 48
p(x, y) =

Calculate the probability that both components function for at least 12
months without failing. Note that p(x, y) is nonzero only within the tri-
angle bounded by the coordinate axes and the line 2x + y = 48 shown
