Show that $螕 (\frac{1}{2}) = \sqrt{蟺}$
Hint: $螕 (\frac{1}{2}) = {鈭�}_{0}^{鈭�} e^{- x} x^{- 1 / 2} d x$ Make the change of variables $y = \sqrt{2 x}$ and then relate the resulting expression to the normal distribution.

Short Answer

Using the proper substitution, find the density of Standard Normal under the integral by expressing $螕 (\frac{1}{2})$ the condition.

Step by step solution

Substitutions of variables.

We have that

$螕 (\frac{1}{2}) = {鈭�}_{0}^{鈭�} x^{\frac{1}{2} - 1} e^{- mtight > x} d x = {鈭�}_{0}^{鈭�} x^{- \frac{1}{2}} e^{- x} d x$

Now, make the substitution $x = \frac{y^{2}}{2}$ which implies that $d x = y d y$ and $y = \sqrt{2 x}$

We have that

${鈭�}_{0}^{鈭�} x^{- \frac{1}{2}} e^{- x} d x = {鈭�}_{0}^{鈭�} \frac{\sqrt{2}}{y} e^{- \frac{y^{2}}{2}} y d y = \sqrt{2} {鈭�}_{0}^{鈭�} e^{- \frac{y^{2}}{2}} d y$

Evaluate the integral.

In order to evaluate the remaining integral, observe that ${鈭�}_{0}^{鈭�} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 蟺}} e^{- \frac{y^{2}}{2}} d y = \frac{1}{2}$ since the function under the integral is the density of Standard Normal and we integrate it over the positive half of the real line.

So, we have that

$\sqrt{2} {鈭�}_{0}^{鈭�} e^{- \frac{y^{2}}{2}} d y = \sqrt{2} 路 \sqrt{2 蟺} {鈭�}_{0}^{鈭�} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 蟺}} e^{- \frac{y^{2}}{2}} d y = \sqrt{2} 路 \sqrt{2 蟺} 路 \frac{1}{2} = \sqrt{蟺}$

So, we have proved that

$螕 (\frac{1}{2}) = \sqrt{蟺}$
