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}

When Noah goes bowling, his scores are normally distributed with a mean of 150 and a standard deviation of 12. What is the proba
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The probability of his score being between 135 and 167 is 0.8151 or (0.8151*100=81.51%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean = μ = 150

SD = σ = 12

Let x1 be the first data point and x2 the second data point

We have to find the z-scores for both data points

x1 = 135

x2 = 167

So,

z_1 = \frac{x_1-mean}{SD}\\= \frac{135-150}{12}\\=\frac{-15}{12}\\=-1.25

And

z_2 = \frac{x_2-mean}{SD}\\z_2 =\frac{167-150}{12}\\=\frac{17}{12}\\= {1.416}

We have to find area to the left of both points then their difference to find the probability.

So,

Area to the left of z1 = 0.1056

Area to the left of z2 = 0.9207

Probability to score between 135 and 167 = z2-z1 = 0.9027-0.1056 = 0.8151

Hence,

The probability of his score being between 135 and 167 is 0.8151 or (0.8151*100=81.51%)
