the properties of the probability function, we find that:

and that:

P(B) = P(B —A) + P(A∩ B).
c c c c c c c c c c c
Combining the two results, we find that: c c c c c c
P( A ∪ B) = P ( A) + P( B) — P( A ∩ B).

(a) It is clear that fX (α) ≥ 0. Thus, we need only check that the

Thus fX ( α) is indeed a PDF.

Clearly the piece of the integral associated with ue−u /2 is zero. The
