    • Part a

This problems is the same one that we had in class the other day. First you write down the sequence which is ( (1-p)^6*p^4)). Then you take the derivative in term of p and solve for p

    • part b

you follow the same procedure as above, but now , you just need to use variables instead


Well, you know that F^-1 is an inverse function of an arbitrary function. Something you need to keep in mind is that F(F^-1(X)) is equal to X because the Function of the inverse function gives you the variable. As a result, what we did in this problem is first we wrote the P(X < x), and because X is an inverse function, we took the function of both sides. As a result, we got (U<= F(x))

I hope that helps
