Random Variable X and Y has a joint probability density function.
$$f_X, Y (x, y) =begincases
c(x + 3y)& 3 leq x leq 7, 4 leq y leq10\
0 & textotherwise \
endcases
$$
(a) Find $f_X (x | y)$
(b) $P(x leq 5 | Y = 9)$
My attempt:
$f_X (x | y) = fracf_X, Y(x, y)f_Y(y)$
$$f_Y(y) = cint_3^7(x+3y)dx = cleft(fracx^22 + 3xy right)bigg|_3^7 = c(20+12y)$$
for $f_Y(y)$ has support $4 leq y leq 10$, 0 otherwise
$$P_X (x | y) = fracc(x+3y)c(20+12y) = frac(x+3y)(20+12y)$$
$P_X (x | y)$ has support ...
(b)
$f_X (x | y = 9) = fracx + 3 cdot 920 + 12 cdot 9 = fracx+27128$
$$P(x leq 5 | Y = 9) = int_3^5 f_X (x | y = 9)dx = int_3^5 fracx+27128 = int_3^5 left(x/128 + 27/128 right)dx = left(fracx^2256 + frac27128x right)bigg|_3^5 = frac3164$$
Not sure if I'm right, and a question if it were the joint pdf as
$$f_X, Y (x, y) =begincases
c(x + 3y)& 3 leq x leq y, 4 leq y leq10\
0 & textotherwise \
endcases
$$
How would the integral for the first question look like?

You are correct. Â Don't forget, however, to indicate the supports.
 (Well, assuming $P_Xmid Y$ is conditional probability density function; why did they use $P$ rather than $f$?)
If instead $f_X,Y(x,y) = c(x+2y),mathbf 1_3<x<y, 4<y<10$, then $$f_Y(y)~=int_3^y c(x+2y)mathbf 1_4<y<10,mathsf d x \= c(tfrac 52y^2-6y-tfrac 92),mathbf 1_4<y<10$$
What would I put for the support for $f_Y(x|y)$?
