List the possible values and probabilities before computing moments.
Hint 2
Map each support value through Y=2X+1.
Worked solution
List the possible values and probabilities before computing moments.
Apply the stated relation and retain its conditions.
An injective value transformation keeps the corresponding probabilities.
The requested relation or conclusion is shown below.
Checks and common pitfalls: An injective value transformation keeps the corresponding probabilities.
Reasoning checklist · self / teacher assessment
- State a valid definition or model and its assumptions.
- Show the intermediate mathematical relations, not only the final claim.
- Check exclusions, units or the interpretation of the result.
