Problem 2-3.3. But change the problem to say f_X(x)=A/(1+x^2). Solve for A as well.

2-3.3 a) A random variable X has a probability density function of the form
fx (x) = exp(-2|x|)
-∞ < x < ∞
A second random variable Y is related to X by Y = X². Find the probability density
function of the random variable Y.
(5)
b) Find the probability that Y is greater than 2.
