Question: Let X be a random variable with probability density function given by where and are strictly positive constants. Such a random variable is
Let X be a random variable with probability density function given by where α and β are strictly positive constants. Such a random variable is said to have a Weibull distribution with shape parameter α > 0 and scale parameter β > 0, and we denote this fact by X ∼ W(α, β).
1. Compute the cdf. FX of X.
2. The logarithm of a Weibull random variable has a distribution known as the Gumbel distribution (with the same parameters). Describe (in words) an algorithm to generate a random variable having such a Gumbel distribution.
