If the momentgenerating function of X is Mt exp 166t 200t2 f
If the moment-generating function of X is M(t) exp (166t +200t2), find
a.) The mean of X.
b.)the variance of X.
c.) P(170<X<200).
Solution
If the moment-generating function of X is M(t) exp (166t +200t2), find
exp (166t +200t2)= exp (166t +400t2/2),
a.) The mean of X. = 166
b.)the variance of X. = 400
c.) P(170<X<200).
Sd= sqrt( 400) =20
Z value for 170, z=( 170-166)/20 =0.2
Z value for 200, z=( 200-166)/20 =1.7
P(170<X<200) = P( 0.2<z<1.7) = p( z <1.7)
