Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

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.

πŸ’‘ 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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Differentiate the MGF stepwise to derive moments at t=0.
