- Let X be a Gaussian random variable (0,1). Let M = ln(5*X) be a derived random variable. What is E[M]?arrow_forward(b) Let Z be a discrete random variable with E(Z) = 0. Does it necessarily follow that E(Z³) = 0? If yes, give a proof; if no, give a counterexample.arrow_forwardUse the moment generating function technique to solve. Let X1, . . . , Xn be independent random variables, such that Xi ∼ Exponential(θ), for i =1, . . . , n. Find the distribution of Y = X1 + · · · + Xn.arrow_forward
- Consider a random variable X with E[X] = 10, and X being positive. Estimate E[ln√X] using Jensen’s inequality.arrow_forwardLet X be a random variable with pdf given by fX(x) = 1/[π(1 + x2)] for all real number x. Prove that X and 1/X are identically distributed by showing that they have the same probability distribution.arrow_forwardLet N(m, \sigma^2) be a Gaussian distribution with mean m and variance \sigma^2. Calculate KL(N(0, 1), N(1, 2)) (Round to 2 decimal accuracy; And use log with base 10). Let f(A) = ||A||_1 + ||A||_2 + ||A||_\infty. f(A) is also a norm of A . True/Falsearrow_forward
- Suppose that the random variables X,Y, and Z have the joint probability density function f(x,y,z) = 8xyz for 0<x<1, 0<y<1, and 0<z<1. Determine P(X<0.7).arrow_forwardLet X be a random variable with pdff(x) = 4x^3 if 0 < x < 1 and zero otherwise. Use thecumulative (CDF) technique to determine the pdf of each of the following random variables: 1) Y=X^4, 2) W=e^(-x) 3) Z=1-e^(-x) 4) U=X(1-X)arrow_forward
