f(x,y) = { x+y if 0≤x ≤1 ; 0≤y≤1
{ 0 else
a) Find marginal probability distribution f1(x) and f2(y)
b) Are two random variable x,y independent? why?
c) Are x,y correlated? why?
d) Suppose proportion "d" of dead time (time when no assigned duties are being performed) for two clerks is given by the relation d=1-[(x+y)/2]. find E(d), the expected value of d.
