Non-text problem 3*: A point is randomly chosen in a disk of radius 1. Then the Cartesian coordinates $(X, Y)$ of this point has joint pdf $f(x, y) = \begin{cases} 1/\pi & x^2 + y^2 \le 1 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$ Let $R = \sqrt{X^2 + Y^2}$ be the distance from the point to the origin. (a) For $r \in (-\infty, \infty)$, find $P(R \le r)$. (b) Find the pdf of $R$.

Non-text problem 3*: A point is randomly chosen in a disk of radius 1. Then the Cartesian coordinates (x, y) of this point have a joint pdf given by: f(x, y) = { (1/π), x^2 + y^2 ≤ 1, (0 otherwise } Let R = √(x^2 + y^2) be the distance from the point to the origin. (a) For r in (-∞, ∞), find P(R ≤ r). (b) Find the pdf of R.
