ANSWER:

Solution 5E

Step1 of 3:

We have A Exponential random variable X with pdf

 

We need to find,

(a) Define the cdf of X.

(b) Calculate the mean and variance of X.

Step2 of 3:

Let “X” be random variable which follows Exponential distribution with parameters .

That is X Exp()

The probability mass function of binomial distribution is given below

Where,

X = random variable

 = parameter

 = parameter

e = a constant it is approximately 2.7182.

a).

Consider,

To get a cdf of X we need to integrate above function with respect to x.

1).If X < then,

   

               =

               = 0.

2).If X then,
