Chapter 4.4, Problem 13E

Let x and y be random variables of the continuous type having the joint pdf f ( x , y ) = 2 , 0 x y 1 .

Draw a graph that illustrates the domain of this pdI.

(a) Find the marginal pdfs of X and Y.

(b) Compute μ X , μ Y , σ X 2 , σ Y 2 , cov ( X , Y ) , and ρ .

(c) Determine the equation of the least squares regression line and draw it on your graph. Does the line make sense to you intuitively?
