I'm going to assume the joint density function is

f_{X,Y}(x,y)=\begin{cases}\frac67(x^2+\frac{xy}2\right)&\text{for }0

a. In order for f_{X,Y} to be a proper probability density function, the integral over its support must be 1.

\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^1\frac67\left(x^2+\frac{xy}2\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\frac67\int_0^2\left(\frac13+\frac y4\right)\,\mathrm dy=1



b. You get the marginal density f_X by integrating the joint density over all possible values of Y:

f_X(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^2f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dy=\boxed{\begin{cases}\frac67(2x^2+x)&\text{for }0

c. We have

P(X>Y)=\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^xf_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=\int_0^1\frac{15}{14}x^3\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{\frac{15}{56}}

d. We have

\displaystyle P\left(X

and by definition of conditional probability,

P\left(Y>\dfrac12\mid X\frac12\text{ and }X

\displaystyle=\dfrac{28}5\int_{1/2}^2\int_0^{1/2}f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\boxed{\frac{69}{80}}

e. We can find the expectation of X using the marginal distribution found earlier.

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^1xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac67\int_0^1(2x^2+x)\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{\frac57}

f. This part is cut off, but if you're supposed to find the expectation of Y, there are several ways to do so.

  • Compute the marginal density of Y, then directly compute the expected value.

f_Y(y)=\displaystyle\int_0^1f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx=\begin{cases}\frac1{14}(4+3y)&\text{for }0

\implies E[Y]=\displaystyle\int_0^2yf_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy=\frac87

  • Compute the conditional density of Y given X=x, then use the law of total expectation.

f_{Y\mid X}(y\mid x)=\dfrac{f_{X,Y}(x,y)}{f_X(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{2x+y}{4x+2}&\text{for }0

The law of total expectation says

E[Y]=E[E[Y\mid X]]

We have

E[Y\mid X=x]=\displaystyle\int_0^2yf_{Y\mid X}(y\mid x)\,\mathrm dy=\frac{6x+4}{6x+3}=1+\frac1{6x+3}

\implies E[Y\mid X]=1+\dfrac1{6X+3}

This random variable is undefined only when X=-\frac12 which is outside the support of f_X, so we have

E[Y]=E\left[1+\dfrac1{6X+3}\right]=\displaystyle\int_0^1\left(1+\frac1{6x+3}\right)f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac87

Answer:

m<C = 42°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m<A = (2x - 2)°

m<C = (4x - 6)°

m<DBC = (5x + 4)°

Thus:

m<DBC = m<A + m<C (exterior angle theorem of a triangle)

(5x + 4)° = (2x - 2)° + (4x - 6)°

Solve for x

5x + 4 = 2x - 2 + 4x - 6

Collect like terms

5x + 4 = 6x - 8

5x - 6x = -4 - 8

-x = -12

Divide both sides by -1

x = 12

✔️m<C = (4x - 6)°

Plug in the value of x

m<C = 4(12) - 6 = 48 - 6

m<C = 42°

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin(60)  =  \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{x}  \\ x =  \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{ \sin(60) }  = 12 \\  \tan(60)  =  \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{y}   \\ y =  \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{ \tan(60) }  =   6
