Let X be a continuous random variable with probability density function fx()o otherwise Find the probability density function of YX2
Recall that X ∼ Exp(λ) if the probability density function of X
is fX(x) = λe−λx for x ≥ 0. Let X1, . . . , Xn ∼ Exp(λ), where λ is
an unknown parameter. Exponential random variables are often used
to model the time between rare events, in which case λ is
interpreted as the average number of events occurring per unit of
time.
