Homework Statement


Suppose X and Y have joint density f(x,y)=2 for 0<y<x<1. Find P(X-Y>z)

According to the textbook the answer should be (1-z)[tex]^{2}[/tex]/2

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



[tex]\int[/tex] [tex]\int[/tex] 2dxdy

for x=[0, z+y] and y=[0,1]

=[tex]\int[/tex] 2(z+y) dy

=2z+1

since we are only interested in the values where y<x, we divide this by half to get

z+ 1/2

I'm clearly way off from the answer I'm suppose to get, so I would like to know where it is I went wrong. thanks!
