{0
a
(r-a)/(b a) a <x <b
F(x)
for a <b
(a) Sketch the PDF of this distribution
(b) Let Z be a standard uniform random variable U(0, 1) and let Y be the
RV
Y =(b a)Z a.
Show that Y has a CDF that is U(a,b).
This means that a general uniform RV is just a linear transformation of
the standard one in the obvious way
