98 Chapter3 Probability Distributions and Probability Densities Since the joint distribution function is everywhere continuous, the boundaries between any two of these regions can be included in either one, and we can write 0 forx S0ory SO poety) for0Oandy>0 ee {¢ elsewhere Also use the joint probability density to determine P(1 < X <3,1<¥ <2). Solution Since partial differentiation yields 2 a Fe, yy =e) ay FO =e for x > O and y > 0 and 0 elsewhere, we find that the joint probability density of X and ¥ is given by e@+) forx > Oandy >0 0 elsewhere f@y) { Thus, integration yields for P(l < X <3,1<¥ <2). .
