Then the CDF ofYis given by:

F

Y(y) =P(2X+ 3y) =P

Xy32 =FXy32 I

Dierentiating, we get:

f

Y(y) =dFY(y)dy

Linear functions of continuous random variables

I So, for any continuous random variableX, ifY=aX+b, then f

Y(y) =1jajfXyba

I Let's consider a normal random variable...XN(0;1), then what is the distribution ofY=aX+b?I

We know that

f

X(x) =1p2ex2=2I

So, f

Y(y) =1jajfXyba

=1jaj1p2expfyba 2 =2g

(yb)22a2!I This is just the PDF of a normal distribution with meanband variancea2!I

In fact, ifXN(;2), thenY=aX+bN(a+b;a22).6
