Applet Exercise Use the applet Comparison of Beta Density Functions to compare beta density functions with ( = 2, = 2), ( = 3, = 3), and ( = 9, = 9). a What are the means associated with random variables with each of these beta distributions? b What is similar about these densities? c How do these densities differ? In particular, what do you observe about the spread of these three density functions? d Calculate the standard deviations associated with random variables with each of these beta densities. Do the values of these standard deviations explain what you observed in part (c)? Explain. e Graph some more beta densities with = . What do you conjecture about the shape of beta densities with = ?
