4. The joint density function of two continuous random variables X and Y is given as

kxy 0 < x < 4, 0 < y < 1
fXY (x, y) =
0 otherwise

Find the value of k. Enter your answer correct to two decimals accuracy.
Solution: �∞ �∞
We know that for joint PDF, −∞ −∞ fXY (x, y)dxdy = 1
Since fXY (x, y) is nonzero in the region 0 < x < 4, 0 < y < 1.
