We are given a random number generator that generates a uniform random variable X over the interval [0, 1]. Suppose we flip a fair coin and if H occurs, we report X and if T occurs, we report 2X + 1. Let Y be the reported random variable.

(a) Derive the cdf and pdf of Y

(b) Which one is more likely to occur: Y ∈ [0,1] or Y ∈ [1,2]? Explain your answer.
