Please answer the following question. Show all steps and calculations.
(Bonus) Suppose X1, X2, ... are independent random variables each with probability density function f(x) = 1/2, for 0 < x < 2 and otherwise f(x) = 0.
3a. Find the c.d.f. of S = X1 + X2 + ... + Xn where x < 2. [3]
b. Suppose N = min{n : Xn = a} where 0 < a < 2. Find a simple expression for E(N). Evaluate this when a = 1.7628.
