3.9 Functions of Two or More Random Variables 175 $100. After the first $100, the insurance company pays the rest of the claim up to a maximum payment of $5000. Any excess must be paid by the policy holder. Suppose that the dollar amount X of a claim has a continuous distribution with p.d.f. f(x) =1/(1+x)² for x > 0 and 0 otherwise. Let Y be the amount that the insurance company has to pay on the claim. a. Write Y as a function of X, i.e., Y =r(X). b. Find the c.d.f. of Y. c. Explain why Y has neither a continuous nor a dis- crete distribution.
