If F_Y(y) is the cumulative distribution function for Y, then

F_Y(y)=P(Y\le y)=P(e^X\le y)=P(X\le\ln y)=F_X(\ln y)

Then the probability density function for Y is f_Y(y)={F_Y}'(y):

f_Y(y)=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dy}F_X(\ln y)=\dfrac1yf_X(\ln y)=\begin{cases}\frac1{y\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac12(\ln y)^2}&\text{for }y>0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

The nth moment of Y is

E[Y^n]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty y^nf_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy=\frac1{\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_0^\infty y^{n-1}e^{-\frac12(\ln y)^2}\,\mathrm dy

Let u=\ln y, so that \mathrm du=\frac{\mathrm dy}y and y^n=e^{nu}:

E[Y^n]=\displaystyle\frac1{\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{nu}e^{-\frac12u^2}\,\mathrm du=\frac1{\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{nu-\frac12u^2}\,\mathrm du

Complete the square in the exponent:

nu-\dfrac12u^2=-\dfrac12(u^2-2nu+n^2-n^2)=\dfrac12n^2-\dfrac12(u-n)^2

E[Y^n]=\displaystyle\frac1{\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{\frac12(n^2-(u-n)^2)}\,\mathrm du=\frac{e^{\frac12n^2}}{\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-\frac12(u-n)^2}\,\mathrm du

But \frac1{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac12(u-n)^2} is exactly the PDF of a normal distribution with mean n and variance 1; in other words, the 0th moment of a random variable U\sim N(n,1):

E[U^0]=\displaystyle\frac1{\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-\frac12(u-n)^2}\,\mathrm du=1

so we end up with

E[Y^n]=e^{\frac12n^2}

For Greta's birthday party, her parents ordered 6 pizzas. If they cut the pizzas into sixths, how many pieces will there be? Cho
saw5 [17]

Options aren't avaible

Answer:

(1 ÷ 1/6) * 6

36 pieces of pizza

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of pizzas ordered = 6

Divisions per pizza = 1/6 ;

Hence, 1 full pizza is divided into 1 ÷ 1/6 = 1 * 6/1 = 6 pieces

6 * 1/6(1)

The total pieces of pizzas equals :

6 pieces per pizza * number of pizzas

6 * 6

= 36 pieces of pizza

Aline has a rise of 6 and a slope of<br> 1/20 What is the run
Softa [21]

。☆✼★ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  ☾

The equation is:

slope = rise/run

Rearrange for run:

run = rise/slope

Substitute values in:

run = 6/(1/20)

Solve:

run = 120

Alex is 22 years older than Lana. Four years ago Lana’s age was one-half of Alex’s current age. How old was Alex four years ago?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation

22 divided by 2 is 11

it says four years ago so add 11 and 4 and that equals 15

she is 15 right now. then add 22 which is 37 and subtract 4 which your answer would be 33
