In models for the lifetimes of mechanical components, one sometimes uses random variables with distribution functions from the so-called Weibull family. Here is an example: F(x) = 0 for x < 0, and F(x) = 1 − e^{−5x^2} for x ≥ 0.
Construct a random variable Z with this distribution from a U(0, 1) variable.

Use Excel to perform the calculations and attach it/screenshot it
