Get started for freeLet \(T=W / \sqrt{V / r}\), where the independent variables \(W\) and \(V\) are, respectively, normal with mean zero and variance 1 and chi-square with \(r\) degrees of freedom. Show that \(T^{2}\) has an \(F\) -distribution with parameters \(r_{1}=1\) and \(r_{2}=r\). Hint: What is the distribution of the numerator of \(T^{2} ?\)
Show that the moment generating function of the negative binomial distribution is \(M(t)=p^{r}\left[1-(1-p) e^{t}\right]^{-r}\). Find the mean and the variance of this distribution. Hint: In the summation representing \(M(t)\), make use of the MacLaurin's series for \((1-w)^{-r}\)
Assuming a computer is available, investigate the probabilities of an "outlier" for a contaminated normal random variable and a normal random variable. Specifically, determine the probability of observing the event \(\\{|X| \geq 2\\}\) for the following random variables: (a) \(X\) has a standard normal distribution. (b) \(X\) has a contaminated normal distribution with cdf \((3.4 .12)\) where \(\epsilon=0.15\) and \(\sigma_{c}=10\) (c) \(X\) has a contaminated normal distribution with cdf \((3.4 .12)\) where \(\epsilon=0.15\) and \(\sigma_{c}=20\). (d) \(X\) has a contaminated normal distribution with cdf \((3.4 .12)\) where \(\epsilon=0.25\) and \(\sigma_{c}=20\).
Let the number \(X\) of accidents have a Poisson distribution with mean \(\lambda \theta\). Suppose \(\lambda\), the liability to have an accident, has, given \(\theta\), a gamma pdf with parameters \(\alpha=h\) and \(\beta=h^{-1} ;\) and \(\theta\), an accident proneness factor, has a generalized Pareto pdf with parameters \(\alpha, \lambda=h\), and \(k\). Show that the unconditional pdf of \(X\) is $$ \frac{\Gamma(\alpha+k) \Gamma(\alpha+h) \Gamma(\alpha+h+k) \Gamma(h+k) \Gamma(k+x)}{\Gamma(\alpha) \Gamma(\alpha+k+h) \Gamma(h) \Gamma(k) \Gamma(\alpha+h+k+x) x !}, \quad x=0,1,2, \ldots $$ sometimes called the generalized Waring pdf.
Let \(X\) be a random variable such that \(E\left(X^{2 m}\right)=(2 m) ! /\left(2^{m} m !\right), m=\) \(1,2,3, \ldots\) and \(E\left(X^{2 m-1}\right)=0, m=1,2,3, \ldots .\) Find the mgf and the pdf of \(X\).
