Let ? have the gamma (?,?) distribution.

Show that ?(?≥2?(?))≤(2/?)^(r)

[Remember that if ℎ is a positive function of ?, then the value of ? that minimizes ℎhis the same as the value of ? that minimizes log(ℎ)]

in R. Generate a random sample of size 700 from a gamma distribution with shape parameter 8 and scale parameter 0.1. Create a histogram of the sample data. Draw the true parametric density (for the specified gamma distribution) on the histogram. The curve for the density should be red. (Note: The “true parametric density” is the distribution from which the sample values were generated. It is NOT the kernel density that is estimated from the data.)
