Verify that p(x) = 3x - 4 is a probability density function on [1, oo)and calculate its mean value.
The probability density function of a distribution is given by
x
f(x) = exp(-7).
Use differentiation to show that the probability density function has a maximum at x = 0.
The moment generating function of a distribution is M(t) = (q + pet)", where p € [0, 1],
q = 1 - p and n is a positive integer. Use the moment generating function to find the
mean and variance of the distribution in terms of p, q and n.
A random variable X has a probability density function given by:
[cx +3, -3sxs-2
f(x)={3-cx, 2sxs3
0,
