For a random variable x, if E[x^5] and V[x] = 6, what is the value of E[x^2]?
To find the expected value E[x^2] given that E[x^5] is known and the variance V[x] is equal to 6 (which also equals E[x^2] minus E[x] squared), we can proceed stepwise. 1. **Understanding Variance (V[x])**: Variance is defined as: V[x] = E[x^2] – (E[x])^2 Given V[x] = 6, we can express this as: E[x^2] = V[x] … Read more
