Ratio Distribution - Ratio of Standard Normal To Standard Uniform

Ratio of Standard Normal To Standard Uniform

If X has a standard normal distribution and Y has a standard uniform distribution, then Z = X / Y has a distribution known as the slash distribution, with probability density function

p_Z(z) = \begin{cases}
\left / z^2 \quad & z \ne 0 \\
\phi(0) / 2 \quad & z = 0, \\
\end{cases}

where φ(z) is the probability density function of the standard normal distribution.
