The two continuous random variables X and Y are jointly distributed as

$f(x,y) = 24x^2y(1-x)$

for both x and y are greater than and equal to 0 and less than equal to 1 and 0 elsewhere.

calculate the marginal distributions of X and Y

Did you mean f(x,y) to be edited on?

Say what? You need to clarify the equation for us? :) – Chinny84 Feb 14 '15 at 18:36
$f_X(x)=\int_0^1 f(x,y)dy$ and $f_Y=\int_0^1 f(x,y)dx$. Eventually do it. – zoli Feb 14 '15 at 19:30
