5. Suppose X and Y are two independent Uniform(0, 1) random variables. Use the cumulative distribution function method to find the probability density function of their sum U = X+Y. Solution: Given that X = (0,1) and Y = (0, 1), we have U € (0,2). Then for u € (0,2), the equality U = u implies that X = u-Y. Hence, since we want 0 Uu, we observe that we need 0≤x≤u-Y, which is possible if and only if Y

For a certain psychiatric clinic suppose that the random variable X represents the total time (in minutes) that a typical patient spends in this clinic during a typical visit (where this total time is the sum of the waiting time and the treatment time), and that the random variable Y represents the waiting time (in minutes) that a typical patient spends in the waiting room before starting treatment with a psychiatrist.
