- Exercise 3. Let X be a random variable with mean µ and variance o². For a € R, consider the expectation E((X − a)²). a) Write E((X - a)²) in terms of a, μ and σ². b) For which value a is E((X − a)²) minimal? c) For the value a from part (b), what is E((X − a)²)?arrow_forwardIdentify the distributions of the random variables with the moment- generating functions shown below. For each random variable also indicate what the mean and the variance are. a) m(t) = e22(e'–1) b) m(t) = 1/(1 – 2t)² %3D с) т() — 4t d) m(t) = (0.3e + 0.7)18arrow_forwardb.

Calculate its mean and variance in Mathematica. d) Obtain characteristic functions of X and Y.arrow_forward1. The incidence of cancer among phosphate mine workers and their exposure to radiation was investigated. Cancer incidence was recorded among 60 phosphate mine workers who had 0-29 working level months (WLM) of exposure, 60 phosphate mine workers who had 30-89 WLM of exposure, and 60 phosphate mine workers who had 90-120 WLM of exposure. The number of cancer incidences for each group are presented in Table 1. Table 1: Two-way Table of Counts Cancer Incidence Exposure Level Yes No Total 0-29 WLM 20 40 60 30-89 WLM 33 27 60 90-120 WLM 43 17 60 Total 96 84 180 Perform a x? test, at the 5% level of significance, whether cancer incidence rates differ between the three levels of radiation among phosphate mine workers.arrow_forwardB) Let the random variable X have the moment generating function e3t M(t) for -1arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
