The moment generating function (mgf) of y is given by

M_y(t)=E(e^{ty})=E(e^{2pxt})=M_x(2pt)=p(1-e^{2pt}(1-p))^{-1}

Since the momoent generating function of x is given by M_x(t)=p(1-e^{t}(1-p))^{-1}

When p tends to 0, we have

\lim_{p \to 0} M_y(t)=  \lim_{p \to 0}  \frac{p}{1-e^{2pt}(1-p)} = \frac{0}{0}

Applying L'Hopital's rule we have:

\lim_{p \to 0} M_y(t)=\lim_{p \to 0} \frac{1}{e^{2pt}+2te^{2pt}+2pte^{2pt}} = \frac{1}{1+2t} , \ \ \ t\ \textless \  \frac{1}{2}

This shows that y converges to <span>a chi squared random variable with 2r degrees of freedom</span>.

Mr. Gengel wants to make a shelf with boards that are 1 1/3 feet long. If he has an 18 foot board, how many pieces can he cut fr
In-s [12.5K]
Let us assume that the number of pieces that can be cut = x
Length of each shelf board = 1 1/3 feet
                                   = 4/3 feet
Total length of board available for making shelf = 18 foot
Then
4x/3 = 18
4x = 18 * 3
4x = 54
x = 54/4
   = 13 2/4
As we can see from the above deduction, 13 shelf's can be made from the 18 foot board. There will be about 2/4th of the board remaining, but that 2/4th part will be wasted as it cannot create a complete board.I hope the answer is to your satisfaction and the explanation is clear to you.
