Hi
I have a question , the question asks find value of a and b such that F(x) is a valid cumulative distribution function?
1-a*exp(-x/b) x≥0
F(x)=
a*exp(x/b) x<0
My attempt to solve the problem:
I know F(x) when x goes to ∞ in 1 and when x goes to -∞ is 0. also I know F(x) should be right continuous and it is non-negative. However, non of them help me to find even one of the constants, any help will be appreciated ?
