Let X be a random variable that is uniformly distributed, X ~ UNIF(0, 1). Use the CDF technique to determine the PDF of each of the following: (a) Y = X^(1/4) (b) W = e^(-X) (c) Z = 1 - e^(-X) (d) U = X(1 - X)

1. A random variable X follows the exponential distribution if it has the following probability density function (PDF): f(X) = (1/̸)e^-x/̸ for X > 0 = 0 elsewhere where ̸ > 0 is the parameter of the distribution. Suppose we have a sample of X1, X2, ..., Xn that follow the exponential distribution with the parameter ̸. Use the maximum likelihood method to show that the ML estimator of ̸ is ̸̂ = ̑Xi/n, where n is the sample size. That is, show that the ML estimator of ̸ is the sample mean of X. (Hint: write the likelihood function first and then maximize the log-likelihood function with respect to ̸̂.)

00:01 Here everyone in this question we have given the four parts now we have to calculate an answer so given data that the random variable x is uniformly distributed that is uniformly distributed x is uniformly distributed in the first part we have to calculate f y that is probability when x is y is greater than y okay so f y probability when given y is less than y this is equals to probability when x is 1 x raised to 1 by 4 is less than y this is equals to integration of x x x is equal to 0 to y raise to power 4 1 d y this is equal to y next x is equal to 0 this implies y is also equal to 0 comma x is equal to 1 this implies y is also equal to 1 hence f y is equal to f dash y okay so this is equal to 4 y raise to power 4 minus is 1 is equal to 4 y cube 4 y in 0 1 okay so this is the answer of a part now in the b part we have w of w this is equals to w of w this is equal to probability of w is less than w this is equal to probability we given in the question that is e rase to power minus x is less than w this is equals to x is greater than minus log w okay so integration of x is equals to minus of log w to 1 d w this is equal to 1 plus log w when we solve this okay so next x is equal to 0 this implies w is equal to 1 and x is equal to 1 this implies w is equal to e raised to power minus 1 okay hence f w is equal to f dash w so this is equal to 1 by w and for w in e raised to power minus 1 comma 1 this is the of b part now in the c part we have z of z this is equal to probability given in the question that is 1 minus e raised to power minus x is less than z okay so this is equal to probability when e raised to power minus x is greater than 1 minus z so we simplify this and this is equal to probability when x is less than minus log 1 minus z so integration of x is equal to 0 2 minus log 1 minus 1 dw so this is equal to minus log 1 minus z so when x is equal to 0 this implies z is equal to 0 and x is equal to 1 this implies z is equal to 1 minus e raise to power minus 1 hence f z is equal to f dash z hence f z is equals to 1 by 1 minus z for z in for z in 0 goma 1 minus e r to power minus 1.
03:06 So this is the answer of c part now in the d part.
03:10 We have the function x 1 minus x multiply 1 minus x.
03:14 Okay.
03:14 So this is u of u that is priority when u is given in the question that is x multiply 1 minus x is less than u...
