Let F be the distribution function
F(x) = xn 0 < x < 1
(a) Give a method for simulating a random variable having distribution F that uses only a single random number.
(b) Let U1, ... , Un be independent random numbers. Show that
P{max(U1, ... , Un) … x} = xn
(c) Use part (b) to give a second method of simulating a random variable having distribution F.
