This problem shows one way to generate discrete random variables from a uniform random number generator. Suppose that F is the cdf of an integer-valued random variable; let U be uniform on [0, 1]. Define a random variable Y = k if F(k − 1) < U F(k). Show that Y has cdf F. Apply this result to show how to generate geometric random variables from uniform random variables.
