For each n, let Xn be a binomial random variable with n trials and probability of success p Yn Use the Weak Law of Large Numbers to show that is a consistent estimator of p. (b) Explain why it follows from (a) that (1 isaconsistent estimator of p(1 -p) and that 1) is a consistent estimator of p(-P) 7l V n
The moment generating function (MGF) for a random variable X is: Mx (t) = E[e'X]. Onc useful property of moment generating functions is that they make it relatively casy to compute weighted sums of independent random variables: Z=aX+BY M26) - Mx(at)My (Bt). (A) Derive the MGF for a Poisson random variable X with parameter 1. (B) Let X be a Poisson random variable with parameter 1, as above, and let y be a Poisson random variable with parameter y. X...

Let X1, X2, ....,. Xn, be a set of independent random variables, each distributed as a normal random variable with parameters μί and σ. Let х, ai Use properties of moment generating functions to determine the distribution of Y, meaning: find the type of distribution we get, and its expected value and variance
(1 point) In Unit 3, I claimed that the sum of independent, identically distributed exponential random variables is a gamma random variable. Now that we know about moment generating functions, we can prove it. Let X be exponential with mean A 4. The density is 4 a) Find the moment generating function of X, and evaluate at t 3.9 The mgf of a gamma is more tedious to find, so l'll give it to you here. Let W Gamma(n, A...
