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$.

Estimate the probability that a postage stamp (mass = 0,1 g) that is on a table at room temperature (300 K) will spontaneously fly as high as 10^( - 8) cm above the table. Hint: Don't imagine that there is only one stamp, but an infinite number of non-interacting stamps placed next to each other. Give the reason that the stamp collection obeys the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.

A projectile is launched at an angle theta with respect to the surface with velocity v0 (deterministic). If the angle of inclination is a uniform random variable in [0, pi/2 ], calculate the distribution function of the variable R defined as the point of impact of the projectile on the ground, measured from the origin. Also calculate your expected value
A small (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. This is called Brownian motion. A physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. By running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. Next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. What does she conclude, and why?
