Probability change of random variables question

[QUOTE="tomelwood, post: 3028406, member: 284364"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] I am trying to work out how to find the distribution function F[tex]_{Y}[/tex] of Y, a random variable given the distribution function F[tex]_{X}[/tex] of X and the way that Y is defined given X (see below). Any pointers to get me started would be brilliant. I have done a similar question to this before, but can't see how to apply what I used there to this one, as previously I didn't start with F[tex]_{X}[/tex] , rather with P[tex]_{X}[/tex]. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] F[tex]_{X}[/tex](x) = {0 if x<1 { [tex]\frac{x+1}{10}[/tex] if 1[tex]\leq[/tex]x<[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] {[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex](x-[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] if [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex][tex]\leq[/tex]x<[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] {1 if x[tex]\geq[/tex][tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] and Y = {X[tex]^{2}[/tex] if X<2 {4 if 2[tex]\leq[/tex]X<3 {4(4-X) if 3[tex]\leq[/tex]X<4 {0 if X[tex]\geq[/tex]4 [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] As I said, I'm not entirely sure. Something has to be done to change it into P[tex]_{X}[/tex] I think. But I don't know how to do this. Or should I differentiate F to get f, the density function? But then what do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. [ [/QUOTE]
