    Prove that x^y > y^x when y>x>e

    You may let x be fixed and let g(y)=y*ln(x)-x*ln(y). The first step, you to show that g(x)=0, (say, let y=x) 2nd, g'(y)=ln(x)-x/y, and we have g'(x)=ln(x)-1>0 (since x>3); 3rd, g''(y)=x/y^2>0, so g'(y) is monotonically increasing in y>x>e, and therefore, g'(y)>0 for y>x>e. and...

    What is the name and application of this probability distribution

    I think the number N here is used as a normlization factor.
