X ~ U [0,1] has a uniform distribution. It is defined as Y = e^X + 1. Indicate the domain of X. Draw f_X(x). Calculate E[X] and var(X). Draw the new Y-axis created as a result of the transformation and explain in detail how you found it. Find the probability density function f_Y(y) on this axis. After finding f_Y(y), find E[Y] and var(Y).

Let X have a uniform distribution on [0,1]. Suppose Y = 1 / X. Compute the expected value and variance of Y if possible.

A uniform distribution is a continuous probability distribution for a random variable $x$ between two values a and $b(a<b),$ where $a \leq x \leq b$ and all of the values of $x$ are equally likely to occur. The graph of $a$ uniform distribution is shown below. (FIGURE CAN'T COPY) The probability density function of a uniform distribution is $$y=\frac{1}{b-a}$$ on the interval from $x=a$ to $x=b .$ For any value of $x$ less than a or greater than $b, y=0 .Use this information. Show that the probability density function of a uniform distribution satisfies the two conditions for a probability density function.
