The random variables X and Y have joint density function
f(x,y)=23(x+2y),0x1,0y1
Find the marginal density functions of X and Y.
fX(x)=?
fY(y)=?
Are X and Y statistically independent random variables?

Step 1
The joint density function of (x,y) is,
fXY(x,y)=23(x+2y).0x1,0y1
The marginal density of X is,
fX(x)=f(x,y)dy
=0123(x+2y)dy
=2301(x+2y)dy
=23(01xdy+012ydy)
=23(x01dy+201ydy)
=23(x[y]01+2[y22]01)
=23(x[10]+2[12022])
=23(x+1)
=23x+23
Hence, the marginal density of X is,
fX(x)=23x+23
Step 2
The marginal density of Y is,
fY(y)=f(x,y)dx
=0123(x+2y)dx
=2301(x+2y)dx
=23(01xdx+012ydx)
