SECTION – B                              Answer any five questions                            (5 x 8 = 40)

  1. State and establish the mgf of a Power series distribution.Deduce the mgf of Binomial.
  2. For an Inverse Gaussian distribution,derive the cumulants. Hence find the mean and variance.

  2. If X1, X2,X3,X4 are independent N(0 ,1) variables, examine whether X1+ 2X2 -X3 +3X4 is

independent of  (X1– X2)2 + (X3 -X4)2 + (X1 – X­3)2.

  1. b) Let X1, X2, …,Xn denote a random sample from lognormal distribution. Show that

the sample geometric mean is lognormal.

20 a) Define trinomial distribution. State and establish its additive property.

  1. b) If (X1,X 2)/ is bivariate normal with correlation coefficient r , show that the correlation coefficient

between X12 and X22 is r2.
