The joint density function of X and Y is given by : f(x,y) ={xe^-(x+y) x>0, y>0 {0 otherwise Are X and Y independent? My question is how do you determine if X and Y are independentof each other with the given information? I am unsure of how toapproach this problem.

Explanation / Answer
How would you answer, Are X and Y independent? And how would youfind fx(x) and fy(y)? f(x,y) = 2 for 0
