a.

is a proper joint density function if, over its support,
is non-negative and the integral of
is 1. The first condition is easily met as long as
. To meet the second condition, we require

b. Find the marginal joint density of
and
by integrating the joint density with respect to
:


Then


c. This probability can be found by simply integrating the joint density:


Yes, because if you divide 4 and 3 by 2, you get 2 and 1.5
5% of 200 is 10, after six months, so total of $60? not sure though.
