Statistical Theory I Sta 311 HND I CS FT

(1) The probability density function (pdf) of the random variable X is defined as f(x) = c(x + 2) for x = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 0 elsewhere. (2) The pdf given in question 1 is verified using moment generating functions and probability generating functions to find the mean and variance. (3) Balls are drawn from a box containing 2 red and 3 blue balls without replacement, until a blue ball is drawn. The number of draws, X, to draw the blue ball is calculated along with its mean and variance.

Find (i) c (ii) the mean and variance

2. Using the method of moment generating function and probability generating function,
verify
the mean and variance of pdf given in question (1).
