The joint density of Y1, Y2 is given by f(y) = k, −1 ≤ y1 ≤ 1, 0 ≤ y2 ≤ 1, y1 + y2 ≤ 1, y1 − y2 ≥ −1, 0, otherwise
a. Find the value of k that makes this a probability density function.
b. Find the probabilities P(Y2 ≤ 1/2) and P(Y1 ≥ −1/2, Y2 ≤ 1/2
c. Find the marginal distributions of Y1 and of Y2.
d. Determine if Y1 and Y2 are independent
e. Calculate E(Y1Y2).
