Question

5. The continuous random random variable X has the probability density function f_X(x) = { e^-x , x > 0 ; 0 , otherwise Define the new random variable Y = 1/X. Use the transformation approach (with Jacobian) to determine the probability density function for Y. Show all steps. Be sure to indicate the support for Y.
