If the pdf of a continuous random variable is given by f(x) = e-x, 0 ≤ x < ∞, find the mean and variance of the random variable.
Answer
The given probability density function is f(x) = e-x for x ≥ 0. This is an exponential distribution with parameter λ = 1.
The mean (E[X]) is calculated as:
Using integration by parts (∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du) with u = x and dv = e-x dx:
To find the variance, first calculate E[X2]:
The variance (V[X]) is:
Compute the first four moments about the mean from the following data:
| x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| f | 2 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 1 |
Answer
First, calculate the mean (x̄):
The moments about the mean μr are given by Σf(x - x̄)r / N. Let d = (x - 3):
| x | f | d | fd | fd2 | fd3 | fd4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | -2 | -4 | 8 | -16 | 32 |
| 2 | 3 | -1 | -3 | 3 | -3 | 3 |
| 3 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 |
| Total | 15 | - | -1 | 19 | -7 | 55 |
The first four moments are:
- μ1 = Σfd / N = -1 / 15 ≈ -0.0667
- μ2 = Σfd2 / N = 19 / 15 ≈ 1.2667
- μ3 = Σfd3 / N = -7 / 15 ≈ -0.4667
- μ4 = Σfd4 / N = 55 / 15 ≈ 3.6667
