Let X be the random variable for losses. X is uniformly distributed on (0, 2000). An insurance policy will pay Y = 500 ln(1-(x/2000)) for a loss. a. What is the probability density function for Y ? Give the range for which the pdf is positive. b. What is the probability the policy will pay between 400 and 600?
