Answer:
F. chi-squared(df-210)
Step-by-step explanation:
The Chi Square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .
We have independent and identically distributed random chi square variables, each one with 14 degrees of freedom [tex]X_i \sim \chi^2_{14}[/tex] for [tex]i=1,2,....,15[/tex]. And let Y the random variable defined as :
[tex]Y= \sum_{i=1}^{15}X_i[/tex]
We have a thorem that says that the distribution of Y is given by: [tex] Y\sim \chi^2_{14+14+......+14=15*14=210}[/tex]
Proof
We need to find first the moment generating function for the random variable Y like this:
[tex]M_Y (t) =\prod_{i=1}^{15}M_{X_i (t)}[/tex]
And the productory is satisfied because we have independent random variables. The moment generating function for a chi square distribution with r1 degrees of freedom is given by:
[tex]M_X (t) =(1-2t)^{-\frac{r_1}{2}}[/tex]
And replacing for each of the 15 distributions we got :
[tex]M_Y (t) =\prod_{i=1}^{15}M_{X_i (t)}= (1-2t)^{-\frac{14}{2}} (1-2t)^{-\frac{14}{2}}..... (1-2t)^{-\frac{14}{2}}[/tex]
And using properties of algebra we got this:
[tex]M_Y (t) = (1-2t)^-{\frac{14+14+.....+14}{2}}, t <1/2[/tex]
And we can see that the moment generating function represent a chi square distribution with 14*15=210 degrees of freedom.
So then the correct option is given by:
F. chi-squared(df-210)
