Question
8.
A random variable has a probability density function given by
0 ≤ x ≤ 1,
1 ≤ x ≤ 2,
otherwise.
f(x)
=
{
x - 1
(This is the same PDF as in the previous question.) A computer simulation will be used
in which a sample of the random variable will need to be made. Determine and describe a
method to create a way to sample a random variable with the probability density function
given above.
