Question
If you use the APL function WH, it is 5.] Consider Algorithm 3.2.4. Use this algorithm to find the $H_2$ distribution $X$ for which $E[X]=1, E\left[X^2\right]=5$, and $E\left[X^3\right]=40$.
Step 1
We need to find a random variable \( X \) that follows a \( H_2 \) distribution (Hermite distribution of order 2) such that it satisfies the given expected values: \( E[X] = 1 \), \( E[X^2] = 5 \), and \( E[X^3] = 40 \). Show more…

Find E(X) for the probability distribution function f(x) = 20 ( x^2 - x^4 ) on [ 0 , 1 ].
Suppose that $p(x)=\frac{1}{5}, x=1,2,3,4,5$, zero elsewhere, is the pmf of the discrete-type random variable $X$. Compute $E(X)$ and $E\left(X^{2}\right)$. Use these two results to find $E\left[(X+2)^{2}\right]$ by writing $(X+2)^{2}=X^{2}+4 X+4$.

Expectation of a Random Variable
Let $X$ be a binomial random variable with prob ability distribution $$ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\left(\begin{array}{l}3 \\x\end{array}\right)\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{x}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{3-x} \\0\end{array}\right.$$ $$x=0,1,2,3$$ Find the probability distribution of the random variable $Y=X^{2}$.
