Condition on the fair coin, taken independent of . For the squared uniform distribution, the cumulative distribution function of is on , giving probability density function . Reflection about gives the probability density function of as . Averaging the two conditional probability density functions produces this mixture model:There are no atoms at the endpoints; each integrable singularity contributes half the total mass. Equivalently the cumulative distribution function is on the interval.
