Joint PDF of Random Variables X & Y -1 to 1

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the joint probability density function (PDF) of random variables X and Y defined as fx,y(x, y) = 1/2 for the range -1 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ 1, and 0 otherwise. Participants seek assistance in deriving the marginal PDF fy(y), the conditional PDF fx|y(x|y), and the expected value E[X|Y = y]. There is a specific inquiry about the limits for integration needed to calculate fy(y). The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in the integration process to solve the problems effectively.

Hi, I really need help with joint PDF, if anyone can help, that would be super! :smile:

Random Variables X and Y have joint PDF
fx,y (x, y) = 1/2 if -1 <= x <=y <= 1, and it is 0 otherwise

a) what is fy (y)?

b) what is fx|y (x|y)?

c) what is E[X|Y = y]?

Please show some work, first.
 
for part A) i know ur suppose to take the integral with respect to dx, but I'm not sure what the limits are.

If there are an infinite number of natural numbers, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two natural numbers, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and... then that must mean that there are not only infinite infinities, but an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those...
