This is an activity to explore the Moment Generating Functions for the Bernoulli, Binomial, Geometric and Negative-Binomial Distributions.

  • Exercise 1: Use SOCR to graph the mgf's and print the following distributions and answer the questions below. Also, comment on the shape of each one of these distributions:
    • a.\( X \sim Bernoulli(0.5) \)
    • b.\( x \sim Binomial(1,0.5) \)
    • c.\( x \sim Geometric(0.5) \)
    • d.\( x \sim NegativeBinomial(1, 0.5) \)
