Jointly Normal and Uncorrelated Implies Independent

Probability · Medium · Free problem
Part 1: Prove that if $(X, Y)$ are jointly normal and uncorrelated, then $X$ and $Y$ are independent. Part 2: Give an example of two random variables that are each marginally normal and uncorrelated, but are not independent. Explain why this does not contradict Part 1.
