Determine the constant \(c\) in each of the following so that each \(f(x)\) is a
\(\beta\) pdf:
(a) \(f(x)=c x(1-x)^{3}, 0
. Let \(X\) have a conditional Burr distribution with fixed parameters \(\beta\) and \(\tau\), given parameter \(\alpha\). (a) If \(\alpha\) has the geometric pdf \(p(1-p)^{\alpha}, \alpha=0,1,2, \ldots\), show that the unconditional distribution of \(X\) is a Burr distribution. (b) If \(\alpha\) has the exponential pdf \(\beta^{-1} e^{-\alpha / \beta}, \alpha>0\), find the unconditional pdf of \(X\).
Compute the measures of skewness and kurtosis of the Poisson distribution with mean \(\mu\).
Show that the constant \(c\) can be selected so that \(f(x)=c
