Homework Statement


Let U,Y be independent random variables. Here U is uniformly distributed on (0,1) Where as
Y~0.25[itex]\delta_{0}[/itex] + 0.75[itex]\delta_{1}[/itex]. Let X = UY. Find the Cdf and compute
P(0≤X≤2/3)

The Attempt at a Solution


Normally a question like this is fairly straightforward but I'm having trouble understanding how Y is distributed.
