(22) Let X = b(6, find E(5+6x) and distribution function.
The variable X has the distribution Exp(5N), i.e. it has the PDF f(x)=5Ne5Nx for x>0. The
variable N is in turn geometric distributed with the parameter p=1/2,
i.e. P(N=n)=(1– 1/2)"-1(1/2) for n=1,2,...
Determine P(X>3/5)
d. Denote the expected return and its standard deviation as functions of π byμ(π ) and σ (π ). The pair (μ(π ), σ (π )) trace out a curve in the plane as πvaries from 0 to 1. Plot this curve.
I need to draw a graph from this??
