company markets cans of deluxe mixed nuts containing almonds, cashews, and peanuts. Suppose the net weight of each can is exactly 1 pound, but the weight contribution of each type of nut is random. Because the three weights sum to 1, a joint probability model for any two gives all necessary information about the weight of the third type. Let X be the weight of almonds in a selected can and Y be weight of cashews. The joint probability density function for (X,Y) is given by: 24xy OSXSI, OS y S1, x + y si , 0 otherwise 8(x, y)={241 . a. Find P(Y 50.25X = 0.5);
