(1) Looks like the joint density is
In order for this to be a proper density function, integrating it over its support should evaluate to 1. The support is a triangle with vertices at (0, 0), (4, 0), and (4, 4) (see attached shaded region), so the integral is
(2) The region in which <em>X</em> > 2 and <em>Y</em> < 1 corresponds to a 2x1 rectangle (see second attached shaded region), so the desired probability is
(3) Are you supposed to find the marginal density of <em>X</em>, or the conditional density of <em>X</em> given <em>Y</em>?
In the first case, you simply integrate the joint density with respect to <em>y</em>:
In the second case, we instead first find the marginal density of <em>Y</em>:
Then use the marginal density to compute the conditional density of <em>X</em> given <em>Y</em>:
