For a reasonably smooth FX(x) the random variable U = FX(X) has a constant density function on [0,1] and zero elsewhere
Proof:
Let U = FX(X) for a reasonable smooth FX(x).
Then the cdf of U is given by:
Thus, the pdf of X is given by:
For the distribution above (with =1), find the values of random variable X...
We are given that X ~ Exponential( = 1)
Thus,
Putting the values of U given in question in the equation above, we get:

Suppose X is an exponential random variable with PDF, fx(x) exp(-x)u(x). Find a transformation, Y g(X) so that the new random variable Y has a Cauchy PDF given 1/π . Hint: Use the results of Exercise 4.44. ) Suppose a random variable has some PDF given by ). Find a function g(x) such that Y g(x) is a uniform random variable over the interval (0, 1). Next, suppose that X is a uniform random variable. Find a function g(x) such...
