9.14 Adding random numbers. Generate two random rmmbers between 0 and 1 and take X to be their sum. The sum X can take any value between 0 and 2. The density curve of X is the triangle shown in Figure 9.7.

(a) Verify by geometry that the area under this curve is 1.
(b) What is the probability that X is less than 1 ? (Sketch the density curve, shade the area that represents the probability, then find that area. Do this for
(c) also.)
(c) What is the probability that X is less than 0.5?
