Suppose claim amounts at a health insurance company are independent of one another. In the first year calim amounts are modeled by a gamma random variable X with alpha=40, and beta=3. In the second year, individual claim amounts are modeled by random variable Y=1.05X+3. Let W be the average of 30 claim amounts in year two set up the equation to model the random variable W. a) Find the moment generating function of W b) Based on moment generating function of W is W also a gamma distribution? if so what are the parameters? c) Find the approximate probability that W is between 125$ and 130$.
Consider a real random variable X with zero mean and variance σ2X . Suppose that wecannot directly observe X, but instead we can observe Yt := X + Wt, t ∈ [0, T ], where T > 0 and{Wt : t ∈ R} is a WSS process with zero mean and correlation function RW , uncorrelated with X.Further suppose that we use the following linear estimator to estimate X based on {Yt : t ∈ [0, T ]}:ˆXT =Z T0h(T − θ)Yθ dθ,i.e., we pass the process {Yt} through a causal LTI filter with impulse response h and sample theoutput at time T . We wish to design h to minimize the mean-squared error of the estimate.a. Use the orthogonality principle to write down a necessary and sufficient condition for theoptimal h. (The condition involves h, T , X, {Yt : t ∈ [0, T ]}, ˆXT , etc.)b. Use part a to derive a condition involving the optimal h that has the following form: for allτ ∈ [0, T ],a =Z T0h(θ)(b + c(τ − θ)) dθ,where a and b are constants and c is some function.

At 6 months of physical activity, mood scores rated on a scale from -5 to 5 after a walking exercise were 3.3 plus or minus 1.2 (mean plus or minus standard error), and at 12 months, mood scores were 3.3 plus or minus 1.3. Assuming these data are normally distributed, use the steps to conduct a z transformation to determine the following probabilities: a) what is the probability that a sample mean selected from this population would show no change [0] or negative change [less than 0] at 6 months of physical activity? b) what is the probability that a sample mean selected from this population would show no change or a negative change at 12 months of physical activity?
