ANSWER:

Solution 6E

Step1 of 3:

We have moment generating function of X is

We need to find,

a).The mean of X

b).The variance X

c).

d).

Step2 of 3:

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

That is X N()

            X N[]

The probability mass function of normal distribution is given by

,

Where,

= mean of X

= variance

 = standard deviation.

a).

As we said  X be random variable which follows normal distribution with parameters .

That is X N()
