Question
The joint pdf of two continuous random variables ๐X and ๐Y is given by๐๐๐(๐ฅ,๐ฆ)={4๐ฅ๐ฆ1440โค๐ฅโค14,0โค๐ฆโค140otherwisef XYโ (x,y)={ 14 4 4xyโ 0โ 0โคxโค14,0โคyโค14otherwiseโ Are ๐X and ๐Y independent?YesNo
Solution
No, X and Y are not independent.
The reason is that the joint pdf fXY(x,y) cannot be factored into the product of two functions, each depending only on x and y respectively. If X and Y were independent, we would have fXY(x,y) = fX(x) * fY(y), which is not the case here. Therefore, X and Y are dependent.
