1. If X is uniformly distributed in (−1, 1), find g(x), so that the random variable Y = g(X) may
have the density function fY (y) = 2e−2y , y > 0.
2. The random variable Y is defined by Y = 12 (X + |X|), where X is another random variable.
Determine the density and distribution function of Y in terms of those of X.
(
Cx(x − y), 0 < x < 2, −x < y < x
3. Given fXY (x, y) = (a) evaluate C. (b) find
0, elsewhere.
fX (x), fY /x (y) and fY (y).
4. Let Y = |X − 1| and fX (x) = 2e−2x , x > 0. Find fY .
5. Let Y be a continuous random variable with density fX (x). Let Y = X 2 , find fY (y).
