moment generating function
if x is in normal distribution with mean=u and variance=1
let y=x^2
1. find the moment generation of Y
2. check the answer by finding E[Y] in two different ways
anyone know how to do it???
urgent plz

1) For mean = μ and variance = 1, the cont. function of X is given by:
f(x) = [1/√(2π)] e-(x - μ)^2/2 Hence the distribution of y is:
x2 = {[1/√(2π)] e-(x - μ)^2/2}2 = e-(x - μ)^2/(2π)
So the moment generating function of Y is:
M(t) = ∫ (x = - ∞ → ∞) etx [e-(x - μ)^2/(2π)] dx
= ∫ (x = - ∞ → ∞) [etx-(x - μ)^2/(2π)] dx
2) Finding E[Y] by M'(0)
M'(t) = (d/dt)∫ (x = - ∞ → ∞) [etx-(x - μ)^2/(2π)] dx
= ∫ (x = - ∞ → ∞) d(etx)/dt [-(x - μ)^2/(2π)] dx
= ∫ (x = - ∞ → ∞) x etx [-(x - μ)^2/(2π)] dx
So M'(0) = ∫ (x = - ∞ → ∞) x [-(x - μ)^2/(2π)] dx
= ∫ (x = - ∞ → ∞) [e-(x - μ)^2/(2π)] d[(x - μ)2] + 2μ∫ (x = - ∞ → ∞) [e-(x - μ)^2/(2π)] dx
= [1/(2π)] [- e-(x - μ)^2] (x = - ∞ → ∞) + 2μ
= 2μ
Finding E[Y] by y = x2:
E[Y] = ∫ (x = - ∞ → ∞) {[1/√(2π)] e-(x - μ)^2/2}2 dx
= ∫ (x = - ∞ → ∞) [e-(x - μ)^2/(2π)] dx
= 2μ
