QUESTION:

Let \(Y_{1}\) and \(Y_{2}\) have the joint probability density function given by

\(f\left(y_{1}, y_{2}\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} k y_{1} y_{2}, & 0 \leq y_{1} \leq 1,0 \leq y_{2} \leq 1, \\ 0, & \text { elsewhere. } \end{array}\right. \)

a. Find the value of k that makes this a probability density function.

b. Find the joint distribution function for \(Y_{1}\) and \(Y_{2}\).

c. Find \(P\left(Y_{1} \leq 1 / 2, Y_{2} \leq 3 / 4\right)\).

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

The joint probability density function of \(Y_{1}\) and \(Y_{2}\) is given as

\(f\left(y_{1}, y_{2}\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} k y_{1} y_{2}, & 0 \leq y_{1} \leq 1,0 \leq y_{2} \leq 1, \\ 0, & \text { elsewhere. } \end{array}\right.\)

Using this, we need to find the required values.
