Let X be a continuous random variable with density function f(x) = 2x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. Find the moment-generating function of X, M(t), and verify that E(X) = M′(0) and that E(X2) = M′′(0).
The PDF of a continuous random variable X is as follows:
f(X)= c(4x2 - 2x2) 0<* x <* 2 (*less or equal to)
a. For this to be a proper density function, what must be the value of c ?
For the probability density function f(x) = 3x^2 on [0,1], find:
V(X)
