Question: Just as E ( t ) is defined as a probability density function ( p . d . f . ) in t , normalized

Just as E(t) is defined as a probability density function (p.d.f.) in t, normalized RTD function E() is defined in terms of normalized time =t. Like E(t),E() must also satisfy all properties of a p.d.f.(namely, being always positive, and the area under the curve being unity). The only difference is in the transformation of the time coordinate, in that t is replaced by .
a. Show that E()=E(t)
b. Show that zeroth moment of E() is unity.
c. Show that first moment of E() is also unity.
d. Develop expression for second moment of E() in terms of second moment of E(t) and .
e. Develop expression for second central moment of in terms of second central moment of E(t) and .
f. What is zeroth moment of the normalized washout function W() equal to?
