4. Suppose U has a uniform (0, 1) distribution. Then, we could write the p.d.f. as either or fu(t)= 0, for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1; otherwise fu(t) = 1 [0,1] (t). Suppose Y = (b-a)U+ a where a < b. Use the scaling rule to find the p.d.f. of Y, which I suggest you denote by fy so that we do not confuse it with the pdf fu.

4. Suppose \( U \) has a uniform \((0, 1)\) distribution. Then, we could write the p.d.f. as either

\[ 
f_U(t) = 
\begin{cases} 
1 & \text{for } 0 \leq t \leq 1; \\ 
0 & \text{otherwise} 
\end{cases}
\]

or

\[ 
f_U(t) = \mathbf{1}_{[0,1]}(t).
\]

Suppose \( Y = (b-a)U + a \) where \( a < b \). Use the scaling rule to find the p.d.f. of \( Y \), which I suggest you denote by \( f_Y \) so that we do not confuse it with the pdf \( f_U \).
