Jun 25, 2018 at 4:04 comment added diidoobiib @CliffAB so supposing that X~U(0,2), how can I derive the distribution of max(X,1/X)?

Jun 25, 2018 at 3:53 comment added Cliff AB If you tried $X \sim U(0,2)$, you could come up with a nice solution that might generalize (depending on what you want to generalize too).
Jun 25, 2018 at 3:44 comment added diidoobiib Yes, I've mentioned that for this particular case, max(X,1/X) would be 1/X, but I'm trying a more general way to deal with this kind of problem.
Jun 25, 2018 at 3:43 comment added Cliff AB Is $X$ really Uniform(0,1)? Because in that case, max($X, 1/X$) is always $1/X$.
