Question

Consider a random variable, Y , which has a quasi-Bernoulli structure.

With probability p ∈ [0, 1] it takes value 0.

With probability (1 − p) it is described by a continuous random variable, X , with the following PDF,

f_X (x)=1+x,  x∈[−1,0),  −1≤x<0
f_X (x)=1−x,  x∈[0,1],  0≤x≤1
f_X (x)=0,  otherwise ,  x>1

Obtain  CDF of  Y,  F_Y (y), and draw the sketch.
