29. Show that if X is a random variable with the mean u for which f(x)=0 for x<0, then for any positive constant a
Added by Mackenzie S.
Step 1
Step 1: Since f(x) = 0 for x < 0, X is a nonnegative random variable (X ≥ 0 almost surely) with mean μ = E[X]. Show more…

Show that Var(a + X) = Var(X) for any discrete random variable X and constant a.
Adi S.
X is a continuous random variable having spectrum (-∞,∞) and distribution function F(x). Show that E(X) = ∫[1 - F(x) - F(-x)]dx, provided x{1 - F(x) - F(-x)} → 0 as x → ∞.
Let X be a nonnegative random variable with density function f . Show that if r(u) = ∫_u^∞ f(t) dt, then E(X) = ∫_0^∞ P(X ≥ u) du = ∫_0^∞ r(u) du. [Hint: this is the analogue of No. 18. Calculation with integrals is smoother than with sums.]
