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}

HELP ME IM SO CONFUSED
givi [52]

Answer:

  • 1) 4812 students
  • 2) 763 pounds
  • 3) $30906.76

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

  • Initial number = 2988
  • Rate of increase = 10%

<u>Number of students after 6 years:</u>

  • a_6 = 2988(1+0.1)^{6-1} = 4812

2)

  • Initial number = 1200
  • Rate of decrease = 14%

<u>Amount of gold after 4 years:</u>

  • a_4=1200(1-0.14)^3 = 763

3)

  • Initial number = 28000
  • Rate of increase = 2.5%

a)

<u>Salary after n years:</u>

  • a_n=28000(1+0.025)^{n-1} = 28000*1.025^{n-1}

b)

<u>Salary in the 5th year:</u>

  • a_5=28000*1.025^4 = 30906.76

Julia rounded to the nearest ten to estimate the difference between two numbers. The estimated difference was 10. What are four
serious [3.7K]

To round off to 10, the difference should range from 5 to 14. If the difference between two numbers is from 5 to 14, they all are rounded to 10.

Example:

18-9=9 (near to 10)

26-15=11

46-39=7

50-42=8

BRAINLIEST IF correct
ycow [4]

Answer:

1.

25 of the 36 collars will be accepted. I just counted the numbers that were either "14" "15" or "16" because the company will only accept the collars that have 14-16 miligrams of medicine in them.

2. I expect the company to reject 11 of them because 25-36 = 11
