So I have X1 and X2 are iid standard normal.
Then I have Y=X1^2+ X2^2
and
Z=X1/(X1^2+x2^2)
I'm supposed to find the distribution of Y and Z and then determine if they are independent.
Clearly Y is chi squared with degrees of freedom 2.
But I have no idea how to find the distribution of Z. I know there is a shortcut without using the jacobian, like I did with the Chi Squares, but I'm not sure how to do it.
I know Y and Z are not independent because with some algebra,
Y=Y*Z^(2)+X2
So Y depends on Z and vice versa, therefore they cannot be independent. Is that true?
