The mode of a continuous distribution is the value x* that maximizes f(x).
a. What is the mode of a normal distribution with parameters μ and σ ?
b. Does the uniform distribution with parameters A and B have a single mode? Why or why not?
c. What is the mode of an exponential distribution with parameter λ? (Draw a picture.)
d. If X has a gamma distribution with parameters α and β , and α >1, find the mode. [Hint: ln[f(x)] will be maximized iff f(x) is, and it may be simpler to take the derivative of ln[f(x)].]
e. What is the mode of a chi-squared distribution having degrees of freedom?
