Using this, we now find the pdf of \(Y\): Each probability is between zero and one, inclusive. Example 5.4.2 demonstrates the general strategy to finding the probability distribution of a function of a random variable: we first find the cdf of the random variablein terms ofthe random variable it is a function of (assuming we know the cdf of that random variable), then we differentiate to find the pdf. ~^ !'bE.M8m8,HkqKEc\ 0000056035 00000 n
