The Rayleigh distribution from Example 5.1.7 has PDF f(x) = xex2/2 , x> 0. Let X have the Raylei distribution (a) Find E(X) without using much calculus, by interpreting the integral in terms of known results about the Normal distribution. (b) Find E(X2). Hint: A nice approach is to use LOTUS and the substitution u = x2/2, and then interpret the resulting integral in terms of known results about the Exponential distribution.
