Answer :
Answer and explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one, defining the parameters
Let Cumulative distribution function be given by F(x) = P(X ≤ x)
Let the probability density function be given by f(x) = d/dxF(x)
Let U be the original length of the stick so that U≈U(o,w)
Let X be the length if the smaller piece of the stick so that X ≈ min { U, w-u}
The calculation is given in the attachment as I cannot insert formulas in here. This explanation will help you understand the calculation.
