- Suppose you believe the random variable X can be represented by a normal distribution. Use the method of moments to find estimates of the parameters μX and σX .
- Now suppose instead that you believe the random variable X can be represented by a gamma distribution. Use the method of moments to find estimates of the parameters νX and kX .

Let x be a random variable that represents white blood
cell count per cubic milliliter of whole blood. Assume that
x has a distribution that is approximately normal, with
mean μ = 6000 and estimated standard deviation σ
= 2150. A test result of x < 3500 is an indication of
leukopenia. This indicates bone marrow depression that may be the
result of a viral infection.

glucose in the blood (milligrams per deciliter of blood) after a
12-hour fast. Assume that for people under 50 years old, x
has a distribution that is approximately normal, with mean
μ = 57 and estimated standard deviation σ = 34. A
test result x < 40 is an indication of severe excess
insulin, and medication is usually prescribed.
