Moment generating function, CDF and density of a random variable

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the cumulative distribution function (CDF), density, and moment generating function (MGF) for a random variable X defined on a sample space with specific probabilities assigned to outcomes. The values of X for each outcome are given, along with their respective probabilities. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the concepts rather than simply providing answers for homework. Suggestions are made for seeking help on specific areas of difficulty rather than expecting complete solutions. Engaging with the material is encouraged to enhance comprehension of the statistical concepts involved.

Assume X is a random variable under a probability space in which the sample space ?= {a,b,c,d,e}. Then if I am told that:

X({a}) = 1
X({b}) = 2
X({c}) = 3
X({d}) = 4
X({e}) = 5

And that:
P({a}) = P({c}) = P({e}) = 1/10
P({b}) = P({d}) = 7/20

Find the C.D.F of X, the density of X and the moment generating function of X.


Thanks in advance!

I don't think it's a good use of people's time here to do your homework for you.

Have you started? If there's a place where you're getting stuck, I'm sure people can be helpful.
 
I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...
