Question:
5. Use the result that for a nonnegative random variable Y,
$$E[Y] = \int_{0}^{\infty} P(Y > t) dt$$
to show that for a nonnegative random variable X,
$$E[X^n] = \int_{0}^{\infty} nx^{n-1} P(X > x) dx$$
HINT: Start with
$$E[X^n] = \int_{0}^{\infty} P(X^n > t) dt$$
and make the change of variables r = xn.
