Probability and Joint Densities
Joint density functions normalized to total probability one, probabilities as integrals over event regions, and expectations as weighted averages.

Integrals play the sum's role
5. The normalization check
Before using as a joint density on the unit square, what must hold?
6. Computing a region probability
For on the unit square, what is ?
7. Marginals by integration
From the joint on the unit square, how is the marginal density of found?
8. Expectation from the marginal
With marginal on , give , as a fraction like 2/3.
9. Probability of a half-square
For on the unit square, give , as a fraction like 1/3.
