Question:

Let the random variable \(X\) have pdf

\[ f(x)= \begin{cases}\frac{1}{2} x, & 0 \leqslant x<1 \\ \frac{1}{2}, & 1 \leqslant x \leqslant \frac{5}{2}\end{cases} \]

Simulate a random variable from \(f(x)\), using

(a) the inverse-transform method;

(b) the acceptance-rejection method, using the proposal density

\[ g(x)=\frac{8}{25} x, \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant \frac{5}{2} \]
