QUESTION:

In Exercise 6.1, we considered a random variable Y with probability density function given by

\(f(y)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}  2(1-y), & 0 \leq y \leq 1 \\  0, & \text { elsewhere, }  \end{array}\right.\)

and used the method of distribution functions to find the density functions of

a \(U_{1}=2 \mathrm{Y}-1\).

b \(U_{2}=1-2 \mathrm{Y}\) .

c \(U_{3}=Y^{2}\).
