A random variable X has a gamma density function with parameters α= 8 and β = 2.
Without making any assumptions, derive the moment generating function of X and use to
determine the mean and variance of X.

Answers

Answer 1

I know you said "without making any assumptions," but this one is pretty important. Assuming you mean [tex]\alpha,\beta[/tex] are shape/rate parameters (as opposed to shape/scale), the PDF of [tex]X[/tex] is

[tex]f_X(x) = \dfrac{\beta^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)} x^{\alpha - 1} e^{-\beta x} = \dfrac{2^8}{\Gamma(8)} x^7 e^{-2x}[/tex]

if [tex]x>0[/tex], and 0 otherwise.

The MGF of [tex]X[/tex] is given by

[tex]\displaystyle M_X(t) = \Bbb E\left[e^{tX}\right] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{tx} f_X(x) \, dx = \frac{2^8}{\Gamma(8)} \int_0^\infty x^7 e^{(t-2) x} \, dx[/tex]

Note that the integral converges only when [tex]t<2[/tex].

Define

[tex]I_n = \displaystyle \int_0^\infty x^n e^{(t-2)x} \, dx[/tex]

Integrate by parts, with

[tex]u = x^n \implies du = nx^{n-1} \, dx[/tex]

[tex]dv = e^{(t-2)x} \, dx \implies v = \dfrac1{t-2} e^{(t-2)x}[/tex]

so that

[tex]\displaystyle I_n = uv\bigg|_{x=0}^{x\to\infty} - \int_0^\infty v\,du = -\frac n{t-2} \int_0^\infty x^{n-1} e^{(t-2)x} \, dx = -\frac n{t-2} I_{n-1}[/tex]

Note that

[tex]I_0 = \displaystyle \int_0^\infty e^{(t-2)}x \, dx = \frac1{t-2} e^{(t-2)x} \bigg|_{x=0}^{x\to\infty} = -\frac1{t-2}[/tex]

By substitution, we have

[tex]I_n = -\dfrac n{t-2} I_{n-1} = (-1)^2 \dfrac{n(n-1)}{(t-2)^2} I_{n-2} = (-1)^3 \dfrac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{(t-2)^3} I_{n-3}[/tex]

and so on, down to

[tex]I_n = (-1)^n \dfrac{n!}{(t-2)^n} I_0 = (-1)^{n+1} \dfrac{n!}{(t-2)^{n+1}}[/tex]

The integral of interest then evaluates to

[tex]\displaystyle I_7 = \int_0^\infty x^7 e^{(t-2) x} \, dx = (-1)^8 \frac{7!}{(t-2)^8} = \dfrac{\Gamma(8)}{(t-2)^8}[/tex]

so the MGF is

[tex]\displaystyle M_X(t) = \frac{2^8}{\Gamma(8)} I_7 = \dfrac{2^8}{(t-2)^8} = \left(\dfrac2{t-2}\right)^8 = \boxed{\dfrac1{\left(1-\frac t2\right)^8}}[/tex]

The first moment/expectation is given by the first derivative of [tex]M_X(t)[/tex] at [tex]t=0[/tex].

[tex]\Bbb E[X] = M_x'(0) = \dfrac{8\times\frac12}{\left(1-\frac t2\right)^9}\bigg|_{t=0} = \boxed{4}[/tex]

Variance is defined by

[tex]\Bbb V[X] = \Bbb E\left[(X - \Bbb E[X])^2\right] = \Bbb E[X^2] - \Bbb E[X]^2[/tex]

The second moment is given by the second derivative of the MGF at [tex]t=0[/tex].

[tex]\Bbb E[X^2] = M_x''(0) = \dfrac{8\times9\times\frac1{2^2}}{\left(1-\frac t2\right)^{10}} = 18[/tex]

Then the variance is

[tex]\Bbb V[X] = 18 - 4^2 = \boxed{2}[/tex]

Note that the power series expansion of the MGF is rather easy to find. Its Maclaurin series is

[tex]M_X(t) = \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^\infty \dfrac{M_X^{(k)}(0)}{k!} t^k[/tex]

where [tex]M_X^{(k)}(0)[/tex] is the [tex]k[/tex]-derivative of the MGF evaluated at [tex]t=0[/tex]. This is also the [tex]k[/tex]-th moment of [tex]X[/tex].

Recall that for [tex]|t|<1[/tex],

[tex]\displaystyle \frac1{1-t} = \sum_{k=0}^\infty t^k[/tex]

By differentiating both sides 7 times, we get

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{7!}{(1-t)^8} = \sum_{k=0}^\infty (k+1)(k+2)\cdots(k+7) t^k \implies \displaystyle \frac1{\left(1-\frac t2\right)^8} = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{(k+7)!}{k!\,7!\,2^k} t^k[/tex]

Then the [tex]k[/tex]-th moment of [tex]X[/tex] is

[tex]M_X^{(k)}(0) = \dfrac{(k+7)!}{7!\,2^k}[/tex]

and we obtain the same results as before,

[tex]\Bbb E[X] = \dfrac{(k+7)!}{7!\,2^k}\bigg|_{k=1} = 4[/tex]

[tex]\Bbb E[X^2] = \dfrac{(k+7)!}{7!\,2^k}\bigg|_{k=2} = 18[/tex]

and the same variance follows.

An 8ft length of 4 inch wide crown molding costs $15. How much will it cost to buy 72 ft of crown molding?

Answers

Answer:

Answer: $70

 

EXPLANATION

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, for a 4 inch wide crown molding:

8 ft length costs $14

Cost of 40 ft length = ?

 

8 ft length costs $14

To find the cost of 1 ft length,

Divide through by 8

8ft/8 length costs $14/8

1ft costs $1.75

 

Now, to find the cost of 40 ft length

1ft costs $1.75

1 ft x 40 would cost $1.75

40 ft would cost $70

 

Therefore, it would cost $70 to buy 40 ft of crown molding

Which sign makes the statement true? 1 ​

Answers

The sign that makes the statement true is < (less than): 1/3 < 2/3.

What is inequality?

In mathematics, an inequality is a mathematical expression that shows the relationship between two values or quantities, usually indicating which value is greater than, less than, or equal to the other. Inequalities are represented by the symbols < (less than), > (greater than), ≤ (less than or equal to), or ≥ (greater than or equal to). For example, x < y means x is less than y, and x ≥ y means x is greater than or equal to y. Inequalities can also involve variables, and can be solved to find the range of values that make the inequality true.

Here,

The statement 1/3 < 2/3 means that the value of 1/3 is less than the value of 2/3. In other words, when we compare the two fractions, we find that 2/3 is larger than 1/3.

To understand this better, we can think of a whole object (e.g. a pizza) that we want to divide into three equal parts. If we take only one of those parts, that would be represented by the fraction 1/3. On the other hand, if we take two of those equal parts, that would be represented by the fraction 2/3. Therefore, 2/3 is a larger fraction than 1/3, which is why the sign < (less than) makes the statement true.

Answers

Answer:

m∠b = m∠r

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle was reflected across line m.

A reflection is a rigid transformation. A rigid transformation does not change the measurement or size of a shape, so the pre-image and the image are congruent.

The angles on the pre-image corresponds to the angles on the image. This also is for line segments.

This means (for angle measurements):

Angle A is congruent to Angle P

Angle C is congruent to Angle S

Angle B is congruent to Angle R

Diana received an inheritance of $3500 and plans to place all the money in a savings account that pays 3% compounded quarterly. How much money will be in the account in 10 years ?

Answers

Answer:

$36,050

Step-by-step explanation:

If the original price Diana puts into the savings account is $3500 and the pays 3% increase, than how much will be in the account in 10 years?

3% can also be turned in 3 divided by 100, I will be using that in my explanation.

3 divided by 100 : 0.03

you then multiply 0.03 by 3500 and you will get 105.

3% of the $3,500 is $105

$3,500 plus $105 is $3,605

You then have to multiply that answer by 10(years)

$3,605 times 10 is $36,050

Given:

A movie-streaming service offers 12 children's movies.

This is 15% of the total number of movies offered.

let the total number of movies offered be x.

So, 15% of x= 12

15/100 x = 12

x= 1200/15

x= 80

Thus, there were total 80 movies.

A square is a four sided quadrilateral with all of the side having equal lengths. The total internal angle of a square is 360° with each side perpendicular to each other.

A square is a 4 sided polygon where all the sides are of equal length.

The area of the square is the square of any one of its side

Let a be the side of the square

Area of the square = a²

Given data ,

Let the area of the square be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

Area of the square = a²

The exact value of the side length of a square with an area of 95 square units can be found by taking the square root of 95.
