Chapter 5.2 Problem 5.2-8

Question

Let X have a beta distribution with parameters and . (See Example 5.2-3.) (a) Show that the mean and variance of X are, respectively, = + and 2 = ( + + 1)( + )2 . (b) Show that when > 1 and > 1, the mode is at x = ( 1)/( + 2).

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 5.2 problem number 23 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let X have a beta distribution with parameters and . (See Example 5.2-3.) (a) Show that the mean and variance of X are, respectively, = + and 2 = ( + + 1)( + )2 . (b) Show that when > 1 and > 1, the mode is at x = ( 1)/( + 2).
From the textbook chapter Distributions of Functions of Random Variables you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
