Question:medium

The joint probability density function of a two-dimensional random variable \((X,Y)\) is \[ f(x,y)= \begin{cases} 2, & 0\\ 0, & \text{otherwise}. \end{cases} \] Which of the following is correct?

Show Hint

A quick way to detect dependence is to observe the support region. If the support is triangular, circular, or bounded by one variable in terms of another, the variables are generally not independent.

  • \(X\) and \(Y\) are independent
  • Marginal density function of \(X\) is \(x,\;0<x<1\)
  • Marginal density function of \(Y\) is \((1-y),\;0<y<1\)
  • \(X\) and \(Y\) are not independent
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D
