Well i am extremely thankful for the help you and other Bob has provided. Actually the problem is with concepts and applying correct formulas. i am first time studing statistics and probability. Now the instructor is not clear himself in class and creates alot of confusions. even combinations and permutations your website has elaborated in a very easy manner and he made it  very difficult.

I usually understand the concept but when it comes to applying formulas i get confuse. Yes i have solved the question as you mentioned in above link and since i was unable to delete this post so couldnot do it after you replied same in other question.

In latex what you have written is all ok. This was what i wanted to write like that but i dont know who you write here in this website. The x = 1,2,3 and y = 1,2,3 have  diff probabilities and yes they have to be sum up but how. our teacher says there is no single book to follow. You can study from anywhere.

Let X denote the reaction time, in seconds, to a certain stimulant and Y denote the temperature (oF) at which a certain reaction starts to take place. Suppose that two random variables X and Y have the joint density,


fXY(x,y)={4xy, 0≤ x ≤1, 0≤y≤1
                 0, elsewhere

Find
a.    P(0 ≤X≤½ and ¼ ≤Y≤½ );
b.    P(X< Y)

Suppose that the following table represents the joint probability mass function of the discrete RVs (X, Y):
    a. Compute fX(x), fY(y), fXY(x|y) and fXY(y|x).
    b. Decide whether Xand Yare independent.


pXY(x,y) --------------------- x
----------------------- 1          2      3
y ---------- 1 -------- 1/12    1/6   0
y ----------- 2 -------- 0       1/9   1/5
y----------- 3 --------- 1/18    ¼   2/15

yes i know the integration but if you can tell me that which is the part a and b formuls i will solve. i took admission in MS and my first maths subject i am week in it. if you can solve i will be very grateful

i don't know the formulas and the solution of the question.
fXY are subscript as you have mentioned in your email. i could not make it in subscript.

A restaurant operates both a drive-in facility and a walk-in facility. On a randomly
selected day, let X and Y respectively be the portions of the time that the drive-in and
walk-in facilities are in use, and suppose that the joint density function of these
random variables is:

f XY(x,y)= {2/3(x+2y),  0 ≤ x ≤ 1,0 ≤ y ≤ 1
                                  0,    elsewhere}

a. Find the marginal density function of X and Y.
b. Find the probability that the drive-in facility is busy less than one-half of the
time.
