It is said that a random variable X has the Pareto distribution with parameters x0 and α (x0 > 0 and α > 0) if X has a continuous distribution for which the p.d.f. f (x|x0, α) is as follows:
It is said that a random variable X has the

Show that if X has this Pareto distribution, then the random variable log(X/x0) has the exponential distribution with parameter α.
