Part C and D 

1. A continuous random variable Y has the pdf
器 y>2
fy (y) =
otherwise
Let V = 1/VY.
(a) Show a sufficient amount of work to demonstrate that the cdf of Y is given by
so
(1- y > 2
y < 2
Fy(y)
=
(b) State the support of the random variable V (i.e. the set of all possible values of V).
(c) Use the method of distribution functions to find the cdf of V, and then determine the pdf of V
from your cdf.
(d) Use the method of transformations to determine the pdf of V. (HINT: Your pdf should agree
