1. DISTRIBUTION THEORY<br />

that is,<br />

⎧<br />

0 x ≤ a<br />

⎪⎨<br />

x − a<br />

F (x) =<br />

b − a<br />

a < x < b<br />

⎪⎩<br />

1 b ≤ x<br />

Figure 6: Uniform distribution CDF<br />

M X (t) = etb − e ta<br />

A special case is the U(0, 1) distribution:<br />

⎧<br />

⎪⎨ 1 0 < x < 1<br />

f(x) =<br />

⎪⎩<br />

0 otherwise,<br />

F (x) = x for 0 < x < 1,<br />

E(X) = 1 2 , Var(X) = 1 12 , M(t) = et − 1<br />
