Question
1. (a) Suppose that X is a random variable for which the moment generating
function is as follows:
Mx(t) = e2t²+3t for -0 <t< o.
Find the mean and variance of X.
6.
(b) Suppose that X has moment generating function Mx(t) = ( et +÷)
(i) Find the p.m.f. of X.
(ii)Find the mean and variance of X.
(c) A person with some finite number of keys wants to open a door. He tries
the keys one-by-one independently at random with replacement. How many
trails you expect, from him, to open the door?
(d) Obtain the form of moment generating function (m.g.f.) for the following
p.m.f. –
p(x):
2*e-2
=2, x = 0,1,2, ... .
x!
Also calculate the mean and variance from m.g.f.
