Suppose that Y is a random variable with distribution function below. F(y) = { 1 − e −y/2 , y > 0; 0, otherwise; (a) Find the probability density function (pdf) f(y) of Y . (b) E(Y ) and V ar(Y ).

Suppose that the random variable X is uniformly distributed over the interval (0,1). Assume that the conditional distribution of Y given X = x has a binomial distribution with parameters n and p=x. Find E(Y).

Let $X$ be a random variable with mgf $M(t),-h<t<h$. Prove that $$ P(X \geq a) \leq e^{-a t} M(t), \quad 0<t<h $$ and that $$ P(X \leq a) \leq e^{-a t} M(t), \quad-h<t<0 $$ Hint: Let $u(x)=e^{t x}$ and $c=e^{t a}$ in Theorem 1.10.2. Note: These results imply that $P(X \geq a)$ and $P(X \leq a)$ are less than or equal to their respective least upper bounds for $e^{-a t} M(t)$ when $0<t<h$ and when $-\bar{h}<t<0$.
