5.27 An unreliable electronic system has two components hooked up in parallel. The lifetimes X and Y of the two components have the joint density f(x, y) = e for 0 < x≤ y < oo. The system goes down when both components have failed. What is the joint density of X and Y - X? What are the marginal densities of X and Y - X? What is the density function of the time until the system goes down?

5.3 Marginal Probability Densities

5.27 An unreliable electronic system has two components hooked up in
parallel. The lifetimes X and Y of the two components have the joint
density f(x, y) = ey for 0 < x≤ y < oo. The system goes down when
both components have failed. What is the joint density of X and Y-X?
What are the marginal densities of X and Y - X? What is the density
function of the time until the system goes down?
5.3.1 Independence of Jointly Distributed Random Variables
A general condition for the independence of the jointly distributed random
variables X and Y is stated in Definition 3.2. In terms of the marginal densities,
the continuous analogue of Rule 3.7 for the discrete case is:
Rule 5.2 The jointly distributed random variables X and Y are independent
