The moment generating function can be usedto find the mean and variance of the normal distribution.a. Use derivatives of MX(t) to verify that E(X)=meanand V(X) =varianceb. Repeat (a) using RX(t)=ln[MX(t)], and comparewith part (a) in terms of effort.
IF F(x, y) is the value of the joint distribution function of X and Y at (x, y), show that the marginal distribution function of X is given by
G(x) = F(x, ∞) for - ∞ <x < ∞
Use this result to find the marginal distribution function of X for the random variable
F(x, y) = { (1-e-x2 ) (1- e-y2) for x>0, y> 0 and 0 elsewhere
