Question: A continuous random variable is said to have a Rayleigh distribution with parameter if its PDF is given by where > 0. a.

A continuous random variable is said to have a Rayleigh distribution with parameter σ if its PDF is given byX -x/20 fx(x) e 02 -x/20 {** 0 u(x) if x  0 if x < 0

where σ > 0.

a. If X ∼ Rayleigh(σ), find EX.

b. If X ∼ Rayleigh(σ), find the CDF of X,FX(x).

c. If X ∼ Exponential(1) and Y = √2σ2X, show that Y ∼ Rayleigh(σ).

X -x/20 fx(x) e 02 -x/20 {** 0 u(x) if x 0 if x < 0
