Step-by-step explanation:
Demonstrate how the moments of a random variable x may be obtained
from its moment generating function by showing that the rth derivative of
E(ext) with respect to t gives the value of E(xr) at the point where t = 0.
Show that the moment generating function of the Poisson p.d.f. f(x) =
e−µµx/x!; x ∈ {0, 1, 2,...} is given by M(x, t) = exp{−µ} exp{µet}, and
thence find the mean and the variance.
2. Demonstrate how the moments of a random variable may be obtained from
the derivatives in respect of t of the function M(t) = E{exp(xt)}.
If x = 1, 2, 3,... has the geometric distribution f(x) = pqx−1, where q =
1 − p, show that the moment generating function is
M(t) =
pet
1 − qet
.
Find E(x).
Answer: The moment generating function of x is
M(t) = X
