Homework Statement
Choose a point in the unit axis, say x.Let Y be the distance of that point and the point where thε perpendicular line crosses the unit circle.
Find the density and cumulative functions of Y.
Homework Equations
Basic trigonometry i guess.
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't really have much of a clue.
Y equals r sin(θ) = sin(θ) , since the radius of the unit circle is 1.
I get the feeling that the curve of f(Y) will kind of resemble a normal distribution, since most values of sin(y) are closer to 1 and drop quicker as x approches +1 or -1.
