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)
