- Quiz of the day:
-
- Draw a random number, P, from a Normal distribution of mean=0, variance=Vp,
- and a random number, Q, from a Normal distribution of mean=0, Variance=Vq,
- and let R=P/Q.
- What kind of distribution R will follow?
- What is the probability density function of this distribution?
-
- Ok, this is not a quiz, this is my headache. Any answer, pointer or hint
- are greatly appreciated.
