A shot is fired at a circular target. The vertical and horizontal co- ordinates of the point of impact (taking the centre of the target as origin) are independent random variables, each distributed N(0, 1). Show that the distance of the point of impact from the centre has the PDF re-2 for r> 0. Find the median of this distribution.
