Let X be a Poisson(A) random variable. By applying Markov's inequality to the random variable W = etx, t > 0, show that P(X ≥ m) ≤ e-tmex(et-1). Hence show that, for m > >, e-^ (ex) m P(X ≥ m) ≤ mm
Let X be a random variable and a real number. Show that E(X - a)² = varX + (µ − a)² Hereμ = EX is the expected value of the random variable X and varX = E(X - μ)^2 is the variance of the random variable X. Guidance: start from the representation - (X-a)^2 = (X µ + μ- a)^2 and group the right side of the representation appropriately into the form (Z + b)^2, where Z is some random variable and b is a real number and open the square. The task should be solved with the help of the expected value calculation rules.
