119. Solution: D<br />

The diagram below illustrates the domain of the joint density<br />

We are told that the marginal density function of X is<br />

[Note since the density is constant over the shaded parallelogram in the figure the<br />

solution is also obtained as the ratio of the area of the portion of the parallelogram above<br />

y = 0.5 to the entire shaded area.]<br />
