Question: Find the third and fourth moments (defined in the previous problem) for the uniform probability distribution such that all values of x in the range

Find the third and fourth moments (defined in the previous problem) for the uniform probability distribution such that all values of x in the range ˆ’5.00 ‰º x ‰º 5.00 are equally probable. Find the value of the fourth root of M4.


Previous Problem

The nth moment of a probability distribution is defined by

(х — ю)

The second moment is the variance, or square of the standard deviation. Show that for the Gaussian distribution, M3 = 0, and find the value of M4, the fourth moment. Find the value of the fourth root of M4.
