Consider the joint PDF of two random variables   given by , where 

Let X be a uniformly distributed continuous random variable from 0 to 1. Let Y=-ln(1-X) . Find the probability 

There is a deck of [n] cards. You are drawing [k] cards from the deck of [n] cards, and laying them down in front of you one-by-one. How many ways can you do this if the order of the cards in front of you does matter? 

Later Etruscan tombs resembled:

Consider a pair of random variables X and Y, each of which take on values on the set A={1,2,…,[n]}. The joint distribution of X and Y is a constant for all (x,y) pairs coming from the set A above. Let the random variable Z be given as the maximum of X and Y.  Find the probability that Z is less than or equal to [k].
