QUESTION:

In Exercise 5.6, we assumed that if a radioactive particle is randomly located in a square with sides of unit length, a reasonable model for the joint density function for \(Y_{1}\) and \(Y_{2}\) is

                              \(f\left(y_{1}, y_{2}\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}

1, & 0 \leq y_{1} \leq 1,0 \leq y_{2} \leq 1, \\

0, & \text { elsewhere. }

\end{array}\right.

\)

a. Are \(Y_{1}\) and \(Y_{2}\) independent?

b. Does the result from part (a) explain the results you obtained in Exercise 5.24 (d)–(f)? Why?
