If a sequence of sets \(C_{1}, C_{2}, C_{3}, \ldots\) is such that \(C_{k} \supset C_{k+1}, k=1,2,3, \ldots\), the sequence is said to be a nonincreasing sequence. Give an example of this kind of sequence of sets.
Let \(X\) be a random variable with a pdf \(f(x)\) and \(\operatorname{mgf} M(t)\). Suppose \(f\) is symmetric about \(0 ;\) i.e., \(f(-x)=f(x)\). Show that \(M(-t)=M(t)\).
If a sequence of sets \(C_{1}, C_{2}, C_{3}, \ldots\) is such that \(C_{k} \subset C_{k+1}, k=1,2,3, \ldots\), the sequence is said to be a nondecreasing sequence. Give an example of this kind of sequence of sets.
Let \(\psi(t)=\log M(t)\), where \(M(t)\) is the mgf of a distribution. Prove that \(\psi^{\prime}(0)=\mu\) and \(\psi^{\prime \prime}(0)=\sigma^{2} .\) The function \(\psi(t)\) is called the cumulant generating function.
The random variable \(X\) is said to be stochastically larger than the random variable \(Y\) if $$ P(X>z) \geq P(Y>z) $$ for all real \(z\), with strict inequality holding for at least one \(z\) value. Show that this requires that the cdfs enjoy the following property: $$ F_{X}(z) \leq F_{Y}(z) $$ for all real \(z\), with strict inequality holding for at least one \(z\) value.
