Normal Distribution
2, t, and F Distributions Statistics from Normal Samples
Definition. A Normal / Gaussian random variable X N(?, 2)
has density function:
f (x ) = 1 e-(x-?)2/22 , - < x < +.
2
with mean and variance parameters:
? = E [X ]
=
J +
-
xf
(x
)dx
2 = E [(X - ?)2] = J-+(x - ?)2f (x)dx
Note: - < ? < +, and 2 > 0.
Properties:
Density function is symmetric about x = ?.
f (? + x) = f (? - x).
f (x) is a maximum at x = ?.
f ""(x) = 0 at x = ? + and x = ? -
(inflection points of bell curve)
Moment generating function:
MX (t) = E [etX ] = e?t+2t2/2

Chi-Square Distributions
2, t, and F Distributions Statistics from Normal Samples
Definition. If Z N(0, 1) (Standard Normal r.v.) then U = Z 2 12,
has a Chi-Squared distribution with 1 degree of freedom.
Properties:
The density function of U is:
fU (u)
=
u-1/2 e-u/2, 0 < u <
2
Recall the density of a Gamma(, ) distribution:
g (x)
=
()
x
-1e
-x
,
x
>
0,
So U is Gamma(, ) with = 1/2 and = 1/2.
Moment generating function MU (t) = E [etU ] = [1 - t/]- = (1 - 2t)-1/2

Chi-Square Distributions
2, t, and F Distributions Statistics from Normal Samples
Definition. If Z1, Z2, . . . , Zn are i.i.d. N(0, 1) random variables V = Z12 + Z22 + . . . Zn2
has a Chi-Squared distribution with n degrees of freedom.
Properties (continued)
The Chi-Square r.v. V can be expressed as:
V = U1 + U2 + ? ? ? + Un
where U1, . . . , Un are i.i.d 21 r.v.
Moment generating function
MV (t) = E [etV ] = E [e
t(U1+U2+???+Un)] = E [etU1 ]
? ? ? E [etUn ] = (1 - 2t)-n/2
Because Ui are i.i.d. Gamma( = 1/2, = 1/2) r.v.,s
V Gamma( = n/2, = 1/2).

Student's t Distribution
2, t, and F Distributions Statistics from Normal Samples
Definition. For independent r.v.'s Z and U where
Z N(0, 1) U 2r the distribution of T = Z / U/r is the
t distribution with r degrees of freedom.
Properties
The density function of T is
