Question

1. A binomial random variable has the moment generating function, (t) E(etx)II1 E(etX) (pet+1-p). Show that EX] = np and Var(X) = np(1-p) using that EX] = ψ(0) and E(X2] = ψ(0). 2. Lex X be uniformly distributed over (a,b). Show that E[xt and Var(X) using the first and second moments of this random variable where the pdf of X is f(x). Note that the nth moment of a continuous random variable is defined as EXj-Γοχf(x)dx (b-a)2 exp 2
