(I know there isnt any real problem here to solve, but heres a tip on how to solve greatest to least with decimal problems)
1. Just because a number looks big, doesn't mean it is big
Example: 1.00000000000001 < 1.1
just look at the numbers ^ and dont just hastily read it over assuming that 1.1 is smaller because it "has less digits"
2. Negative numbers are... opposite. and they are less than positive numbers
-3.4 > -4.1
Why is this? Well, if you look on a line, with the point 0 in the middle, you can see that -3.4 is not as far away from 0 as -4.1 is. So the idea is to apply opposite logic for negative numbers
I hope these tips helped!! :D
Answer: the answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming is the shape parameter and is the scale parameter. Then the PDF is
a. The expectation is
To compute this integral, recall the definition of the Gamma function,
For this particular integral, first integrate by parts, taking
Substitute , so that :
The variance is
The second moment is
Integrate by parts, taking
Substitute again to get
Then the variance is
b. The probability that is
which can be handled with the same substitution used in part (a). We get
c. Same procedure as in (b). We have
and
Then
It’s going to be -18
First add 6 to both sides to get x by itself
-6x + 18 = -6
+6 +6
X + 18 = 0
Then minus the 18 giving you x = -18
