A probability distribution function $P(x)$ for a random variable $X$ is defined by $P(x) =Pr\{X\leq x\}$.Suppose that we draw a list of $n$ random variables $X_1,X_2,…,X_n$ from a continuous probability distribution function $P$ that is computable in $O(1)$ time. Give an algorithm that sorts these numbers in linear averagecase time.
