Where f(x) = lambda* exp(-lambda*x), Inverse cumulative distribution= -ln(1-p)/lambda. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution Note that if used in random number generation, with "x" equal to the random deviate, then given U ~ uniform(0,1), then x = -ln(U)/lambda.

rooting?
Inverse of the standard-deviation?
That is now question, stupid!
Switching of coordinates in each ordered pair?
The INVERSE of any relation is obtained by switching the coordinates in each ordered pair.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of inverse transformation method?
Disadvantages: 1. requires a closed form expression for F(x) 2. speed ... often very slow because a number of comparisons required Advantages: Inverse transform method preserves monotonicity and correlation which helps in 1. Variance reduction methods ... 2. Generating truncated distributions ... 3. Order statistics ...
When there is a curved line on a graph what type of relationship there is between the dependent variable and the independent variable?
Well, it's a non-linear relationship. It could be inverse, or quadratic, or many other things.
