QUESTION:

Let X have a logistic distribution with pdf

\(f(x)=\frac{e^{-x}}{\left(1+e^{-x}\right)^{2}}\),\(\quad-\infty<x<\infty\).

Show that

\(Y=\frac{1}{1+e^{-X}}\)

has a U(0, 1) distribution.

Hint: Find \(G(y)=P(Y \leq y)=P\left(\frac{1}{1+e^{-X}} \leq y\right)\) when 0 < y < 1.

Hint: Find \(G(y)=P(Y \leq y)=P\left(\frac{1}{1+e^{-X}} \leq y\right)\) when 0 < y < 1.

ANSWER:

Answer

Given f(x)=,   -

Here we have to show that y=


Step 1 of 2

P(Yy)=P(y)

             

         =P(1+e-x)

           

         =P(e-x-1)

           

         =P(x ln(-1))
