The sum of three consecutive terms of an increasing geometric progression is 3159. Given that the middle term is 729, find the values of the three terms. Please help me with this​

The discrete random variables x and y take integer values with joint probability distribution given by f (x, y) = a(y−x+1) 0 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ 2 or =0 otherwise, where a is a constant. 1 tabulate the distribution and show that a = 0.1.2 find the marginal distributions of x and y. 3 calculate cov(x, y).4 state, giving a reason, whether x and y are independent. 5 calculate e(y|x = 1).
