Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the joint probability density function f(x,y) = 3x^2y for 0

💡 Hint: Check your limits and ensure proper integration across defined boundaries.

Question 2

A researcher calculates the marginal PDF of X as f_X(x)=x^2 for x≥0. If the joint PDF integrates to 1, what does it indicate about Y?

💡 Hint: Remember that joint distributions always require summation to 1 across all dimensions.
