1.Let the PDF of X be given by F(x)=0.25exp(-0.25x),x>0.Show that E(x)=4 and var(x)=16.

2.Given that the random variable W is binomial distribution with b trials and success probability P is each trial and p(W=w)=h(w),show that 

(a).h(w)/h(w-1)=p(n-w+1)/(1-p),w>0

(b).E[W(W-1)]=n(n-1)P^2

(c).E(1/W+1)=1-(1-p)^n+1/(n+1)P.
