Let X ~ N(0, 1) and Y = eX. Y is called a log-normal random variable.

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}

A. A car is marked down by 20%. It normally sells for $20,000. What is the sale
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

A=16000  B=16400

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  You multiply 20,000 by .2 or 20%, because you are trying to find a part of the 20,000.

2. You get 4,000 dollars, that is 20% of 20,000. To find the sale price, you take the 20% away from 20,000, which would be 16,000 dollars. That would be your answer for the first part.

3. the sales tax is 2.5% of the sale price. Again, you multiply 16,000 dollars, your sales price, by .025 or 2.5%.

4. you would get 400 dollars. You add the 2.5% or 400 dollars because you have to pay the tax as well as the price. You would get 16,400 dollars.

HLEP ME PLEASE !!!!!!
Advocard [28]

Answer:

f(x) + g(x) = 3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x + 2, g(x) = x + 5

f(x) + g(x) = 2x + 2 +x + 5

f(x) + g(x) = 2x +x + 5 +2

f(x) + g(x) = 3x + 7

Answer:

The probability of picking this is 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure this is correct, and my reasoning for this is because there is 1 of most of the letters. This my not be correct, so you should probably try asking someone else, too :D!
