(a) If X has a gamma distribution with parameters(n,饾浑)what is the distribution of cX,c>0

(b) Show that 饾挸2n22饾浑has a gamma distribution with parameters (n,饾潃)when n is a positive integer and 饾挸2n2is a chi-squared random variable with 2ndegrees of freedom

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)cX~饾殴(t,饾泴/c)

(b)饾挸2n22n~饾殴(n,饾浑)

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

The derivative of the CDF is the probability density functionf(x), abbreviated PDF if it exists. A distribution function Fx describes each random variable X.

02

Explanation (Part a)

We are given that X has Gamma distribution with parameterstand. Lets find CDF of cX. We have that

FcX(z)=P(cXz)=P(Xzc)=FX(zc)

Hence,

fcX(z)=ddzFX(zc)=fX(zc).1c

which implies that,

fcX(z)=t(t)(zc)t-1e-zc.1c=(c)t(t)zt-1e-cz

So, we see that localid="1650361808071" cX~饾殴(t,c)

03

Explanation (Part b)

Take any z > 0 and define Z:12X22n, we have that

Fz(z)=P(Zz)=P(12X22nz)=P(X22n2z)=Fx22n(2z)

Hence we get that

fZ(z)=ddzFz(z)=ddzFx22n(2z)=n(n)zn-1e-z

A chi-squared random variable with 2n degrees of freedom can be regarded as being the sum of n independent chi-square random variables each with 2 degrees of freedom (which by Example is equivalent to an exponential random variable with parameter). Hence by PropositionX22nis a gamma random variable with parameters(n,1/2)and the results now follows from part (a)
