    a) Statement: Let � be a uniform (0,1) random variable. For any continuous
    distribution function �, the random variable � defined by
    � = �−1(�)
    has distribution function �.
    Prove the above statement.

    b) If � is an exponential random variables with rate 1, then its distribution function
    is given by
    �(�) = 1 − �−�.
    Show that
    � = − ln(1 − �).
