Thread: Joint probability problem

I am almost lost with this problem since I have a very basic idea about joint probabilities.

Qn

Random variables X and Y are uniformly distributed in the triangular region . Find fxy(x,y), the joint probability density function of X and Y.

my question is am I allowed to take conditional probabilities of X and Y are also uniformly distributed ?

descriptive answer will be highly appreciated.

Hello there,

Perhaps you could state what you were given? A does not have to be a conditional probability function.

In any case, the joint probability density function, , has this relation with the cumulative density function: .

I hope that this helps!
