THE MOMENTS OF A RANDOM VARIABLE Definition: Let X be a rv with the range space Rx and let c be any known constant. Then the kth moment of X about the constant c is defined as Mk (X) = E[ (X c)k ]. (12) In the field of statistics only 2 values of c are of interest: c = 0 and c = . Moments about c = 0 are called origin moments and are denoted by k‚ i.e.‚ k = E(Xk )‚ where c = 0 has been inserted into equation (12). Moments about the
