The joint density function f(x,y)=53(xy+y^2) is defined for 0≤x≤2 and 0≤y≤1, with the support being the rectangular region between these bounds. It is shown to integrate to 1 over this region, confirming it is a valid joint density function. The marginal densities of X and Y are then calculated by integrating f(x,y) over the other variable. The probabilities P(X<Y) and expectation E(XY) are evaluated from the joint density. Finally, since f(x,y) does not factor into separate functions of x and y, X and Y are determined to be dependent random variables.
