Determine (a) the value of the constant c;


Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The value of the constant is 1.5.

b. The probability is 0.375.

c. The probability is 0.125.

d. The probability is 0.50.

e. The probability is 0.00.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The pdf of X and Y is given by,


02

Finding the value of the constant

03

Calculating the probability for part (b)

04

Calculating probability for part (c)

05

Calculating the probability for part (d)

06

Calculating the probability for part (e)

e.

Here X and Y are continuous random variables.

So the probability of continuous random variable take specific value is 0.
