(b) E( X k )  0k  (1 p) 1k  p  p
(c) E( X )  0.3 , and var(X) = E(X2)−[E(X)]2 = 0.3 −0.09 = 0.21. Thus  = 0.21 = 0.46.
var( X )  E( X 2 ) [E( X )]2  0.3  0.09  0.21   0.21  0.46. To compute the skewness, use
the formula from exercise 2.21:
E( X  )3  E( X 3 )  3[E( X 2 )][E( X )]  2[E( X )]3
 0.3  3 0.32  2  0.33  0.084
Alternatively, E( X  )3 [(1 0.3)3  0.3] [(0  0.3)3  0.7]  0.084
Thus, skewness  E( X  )3/ 3  0.084/0.463  0.87.
To compute the kurtosis, use the formula from exercise 2.21:
E( X  )4  E( X 4 )  4[E( X )][E( X 3 )]  6[E( X )]2 [E( X 2 )]  3[E( X )]4
 0.3  4  0.32  6  0.33  3 0.34  0.0777
Alternatively, E( X  )4 [(1 0.3)4  0.3] [(0  0.3)4  0.7]  0.0777
Thus, kurtosis is E( X  )4/ 4  0.0777/0.464 1.76
