Question 1

A certain dataset has its second raw moment equal to 20 and the first moment equal to 5. Calculate the variance from these values.

💡 Hint: Remember the variance formula and consider interpreting the results.

Question 2

If the MGF of a random variable is given as M(t) = e^(2t + t^2), find the variance.

💡 Hint: Differentiate the MGF stepwise to derive moments at t=0.
