Question 1
pts
(Lesson 7.12: The Box-Muller Method.) Suppose and are i.i.d. Unif(0,1) with and . Use the
"cosine" version of Box-Muller to generate a single Nor(-1,4) random variate. Don't forget to use radians instead of
degrees!
a. -0.326
b. 0
Correct!
c. 0.326

d. 0.663

e. 1.96

Box-Muller immediately gives the following Nor(0,1) random variate:


To obtain the realization of the Nor($-$1,4), we simply apply the transform

which is choice (c).
