7 2.3ATypicalApplication Let Xand Ybe independent,positive random variables with densitiesf X and f Y,and let Z= XY.We find the density of Zby introducing a new random variable W,as follows: Z= XY, W= Y (W= Xwould be equally good).The transformation is one-to-one because we can solve for X,Yin terms of Z,Wby X= Z/W,Y= W.In a problem of this type,we must always ................
