Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



Did I set up the a - f correctly?

a)

[tex]\int^1_0\int^{X/2}_0 10x^2y dy dx[/tex]

b) [tex]P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \rightarrow \frac{P(X \leq 1/2 \cap Y < X^2)}{P(Y < X^2)}[/tex]

c)

[tex]F_Y (y) = \int^1_y 10x^2y dx[/tex] [tex]F_X (x) = \int^x_0 10x^2y dy[/tex]

d)
[tex]E[XY^2] = \int^1_0\int^x_0 xy^2 10x^2y dy dx[/tex]

e)

[tex]F_{Y|X} (Y|X) = \frac{f(x,y)}{F_X (x)}[/tex]

f)

[tex]E[Y|X] = \int^y_0 y F_{Y|X} (Y|X) dy[/tex]

g) Not sure how to do this one.
