Question

Suppose that two random variables X and Y have the joint PDF
fXY(u, v) = {60(u^2)v                       u ≥ 0, v ≥ 0, and u + v ≤ 1,
                   0                                    otherwise.
(a) Are X and Y independent?
(b) What is the marginal distribution fX(t)?
(c) What is Pr[X ≥ Y]? (To set up the right integral, it might help you to draw the range
of (X, Y) in the uv-plane and identify the region within that range where u ≥ v.)
