1. Suppose we have a family of distributions indexed by a parameter \( k \) where \( k \) is any positive integer. Let \( F_k(x) = x^k \) be the c.d.f. where \( 0 \leq x \leq 1 \).

   (a) Find the corresponding p.d.f. or p.m.f., whichever is appropriate.

   (b) Find the mean of the distribution with c.d.f. \( F_k \).

   (c) Find the variance of the distribution with c.d.f. \( F_k \).

   (d) Find the SCV.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Fk(x) = xk ; 0≤x≤1

The CDF of X is given by,

Fk(x) = 0if x<0xkif 0x11if x>1

Note that, it is a continuous random variable. So, It have a Probability Density Function (PDF) not Probability Mass Function (PMF).
