Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you uploaded shows a mathematical expression involving a probability statement and a double integral:
This represents the probability that two continuous random variables and are both less than , given their joint probability density function .
To break it down:
-
The left side, , is the probability that both and are less than 1/2.
-
The right side shows the calculation of this probability using a double integral: where is the joint probability density function of and . This integral computes the total probability over the region where both and lie between 0 and 1/2.
