The value of $P\left[max\left(X,Y\right)\le 0.5\right]$ is obtained as given below:
$P\left[max\left(X,Y\right)\le 0.5\right]=P\left(X\le 0.5,Y\le 0.5\right)$
$=P\left(X\le 0.5\right)×P\left(Y\le 0.5\right)$
$P\left(X<0.5\right)={\int }_{0}^{0.5}3{e}^{-3x}dx$
$=3{\left[-\frac{{e}^{-3x}}{3}\right]}_{0}^{0.5}$
$=1-{e}^{-1.5}$
=0.7769
$P\left(Y<0.5\right)={\int }_{0}^{0.5}4{e}^{-4y}dy$
$=4{\left[-\frac{{e}^{-4y}}{4}\right]}_{0}^{0.5}$
$=1-{e}^{-2}$
=0.8647
$P\left[max\left(X,Y\right)\le 0.5\right]=P\left(X\le 0.5\right)×P\left(Y\le 0.5\right)$
$=07769×0.8647$
=0.6718
