17 Let X be a continuous random variable. Prove that P(|X|n) E(XI) 1+ P(|X|n). These important inequalities

Question:

17 Let X be a continuous random variable. Prove that P(|X|n) E(XI) 1+ P(|X|n). These important inequalities show that E(X) < if and only if the series P(Xn) converges. Hint: By Exercise 16, *** E(X) = P(X)>t) = P(\X\ > t) dt = * * * P (|X|>t)dt. Note that on the interval [n, n+1), P(Xn+1)P(|X|>t) P(|X|n).
