       A common question for the acceptance-rejection method
       By: Cat Date: February 25, 2023, 5:19 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I am confusing about one case in the acceptance-rejection
       method:
       we are required to find a constant c such that f(x)/g(x) < c
       and for the probability for the acceptance value we have 1/c
       Does this imply that we have to find the c > 1 since the
       probability cannot be greater than 1?
       Just like Question 2 in our homework 5: I try to take g(x) = 1
       and c = 0.65 but the theoretical probability value is 1/0.65
       which seems to be unreasonable.
       Or maybe I should try another g(x) and c in this case?

       Hi Cat,
       Your observation is correct. c has to be greater than 1.
       My question is whether g(x)=1 is really true.
       I recommend you plot the g(x) first.
