Let X be a random variable with moment-generating function Mx(t), -h < t < h. (a) Prove
Question:
(a) Prove that P(X > α) < e~atMx(t), 0 < t < h. (A proof similar to that used for Chebychev's Inequality will work.)
(b) Similarly, prove that P(X < a) < e~atMx(t), -h < t < 0.
(c) A special case of part (a) is that P(X > 0) < EetX for all t > 0 for which the mgf is defined. What are general conditions on a function h(t, x) such that P(X > 0) < Eh(t, X) for all f > 0 for which Eh(t, X) exists? (In part (a), h(t, x) = etx.)

I have studied Biological Sciences and majored in BSc Microbiology at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT). I undertook industrial attachment at Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (June – august, 2019), working in five different laboratories and under different senior research scientists and technicians. My attachment in those laboratories saw me Isolation and inoculation of fungal and bacterial samples and identification of colony morphologies, Rear and maintaining nematodes, wet chemistry and Near-infrared Spectroscopy, aseptic techniques in tissue culture lab, Biological control of macadamia Major pest, and aflatoxin analysis. I further learned proposal writing and presentation skills. I am a fast learner, honest, reliable, creative, confident, dynamic, and innovative.
I started tutoring back in the year 2016 when I was nominated to act in a mentoring capacity for high school students. From 2016, I have done tutoring for more than 2 years where I learned time management, modeling the students' future, and the mechanism to use to become an A student.
The combination of my educational background and tutoring experience make me stand out amongst the best tutors.
