Suppose that Y has pdf given by f(y)=b/(y^2); y>=b, b>0. Suppose also that U has a uniform(0,1) distribution. What must the function g(*) be so that Z=g(U) has the same distribution as Y?

Answer #1

Ans:

The pdf of the uniform distribution is given as,

f(U) = 1/(b-a) where b and a is the upper and lower limit of a uniform distribution,

f(U) = 1(1-0) => 1

Therefore, to get the same distribution of random variable Y the function g(*) must be equal to (b/(y^2)).
