Marlene is solving a number puzzle involving three rational numbers a, b, and c. Here are her clues:

1 answer:

5 0

A/c = 8.....a = 8c
a * c = 2 ...a = 2/c
a/b = -16 ...a = -16b
a * b = -1....
b/c = -0.5

2/c = 8c
2 = 8c^2
1/4 = c^2
sqrt 1/4 = c
0.5 (or 1/2) = c <===

a * c = 2
0.5a = 2
a = 2/0.5
a = 4 <===

a = -16b
4 = -16b
4/-16 = b
-1/4 (or - 0.25) = b <===

Suppose we roll a fair die and let X represent the number on the die. (a) Find the moment generating function of X. (b) Use the

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

(a) moment generating function for X is $\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+e^{2 t}+e^{2 t}+e^{4 t}+e^{5 t}+e^{6 t}\right)$

(b) $\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{X})=\frac{21}{6} \text { and } E\left(X^{2}\right)=\frac{91}{6}$

Step-by step explanation:

Given X represents the number on die.

The possible outcomes of X are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

For a fair die, $P(X)=\frac{1}{6}$

(a) Moment generating function can be written as $M_{x}(t)$ .

$M_x(t)=\sum_{x=1}^{6} P(X=x)$

$M_{x}(t)=\frac{1}{6} e^{t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{2 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{3 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{4 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{5 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{6 t}$

$M_x(t)=\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+e^{2 t}+e^{3 t}+e^{4 t}+e^{5 t}+e^{6 t}\right)$

(b) Now, find $E(X) \text { and } E\((X^{2})$ using moment generating function

$M^{\prime}(t)=\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+2 e^{2 t}+3 e^{3 t}+4 e^{4 t}+5 e^{5 t}+6 e^{6 t}\right)$

$M^{\prime}(0)=E(X)=\frac{1}{6}(1+2+3+4+5+6)$

$\Rightarrow E(X)=\frac{21}{6}$

$M^{\prime \prime}(t)=\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+4 e^{2 t}+9 e^{3 t}+16 e^{4 t}+25 e^{5 t}+36 e^{6 t}\right)$

$M^{\prime \prime}(0)=E(X)=\frac{1}{6}(1+4+9+16+25+36)$

$\Rightarrow E\left(X^{2}\right)=\frac{91}{6}$

Hence, (a) moment generating function for X is $\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+e^{2 t}+e^{3 t}+e^{4 t}+e^{5 t}+e^{6 t}\right)$ .

(b) $\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{X})=\frac{21}{6} \text { and } E\left(X^{2}\right)=\frac{91}{6}$
