Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a random variable X with MGF M_X(t) = e^{(ΞΌ + Οƒ^2 t^2)/2}, find the first and second moments.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember that the first moment is the first derivative evaluated at t=0.

Question 2

Calculate the variance from a given MGF, M_X(t) if its derivatives provide moments: M'_X(0) = 2, M''_X(0) = 6.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the relationship between variance and moments.
