| A random variable, X, has a Gamma distribution with
parameters α and β, (α, β>0). The p.d.f has the form
f(x)=(1/(Γ(α)β^α ))x^(n−1) e^(−x/β) , for x>0 , Γ(α)=(1/β^α )∫_0 ^∞ x^(α−1) e^(−x) dx
a\ Show that the Gamma density is a proper p.d.f.
b\Find the mean, variance, and moment-generating function of
the Gamma distribution.
c\Find the fourth moment using the definition of moments.
