A probability distribution function P(x) for a random variable X is defined by P(x) = Pr {X

Question:

A probability distribution function P(x) for a random variable X is defined by P(x) = Pr {X ≤ x}. Suppose that we draw a list of n random variables X1, X2, . . . ,Xn from a continuous probability distribution function P that is computable in O(1) time. Give an algorithm that sorts these numbers in linear average case time.
