Marginal PDF from joint PDF

$$f_{X,Y}(x,y)~=~begin{cases}2 & if &0< x < 1 ~,~ 0< y< x \[1ex] 0 & text{otherwise} end{cases}$$



Now I should calculate the marginal PDF's.



So I use integral and then I get:



$$f_X(x)~=~int_{0}^{1}2 ~mathrm dy~=2$$
$$f_Y(y)~=~int_{0}^{x}2 ~mathrm dx~=4$$



I just feel like I'm not doing this correct. So if any of you could help me and tell me what I am doing wrong and how to get the correct answer.

          Observe that $$f_{X,Y}=2mathbf1_{(0,1)}(x)mathbf1_{(0,x)}(y)$$



          For $xin(0,1)$ we get:
          $$f_X(x)=int f_{X,Y}(x,y)dy=int_0^x2dy=2x$$
          For $xnotin(0,1)$ the integrand is $0$ so then $f_X(x)=0$.



          For $yin(0,1)$ we get:
          $$f_Y(y)=int f_{X,Y}(x,y)dx=int_y^12dy=2(1-y)$$
          For $ynotin(0,1)$ the integrand is $0$ so then $f_Y(y)=0$.

                    How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

                    Image
                    3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

                    Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

                    Image
                    up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title.
