Find PDF of RV with a given mean value

2002-02-26 Thread Chia C Chong

Hi! I have a set of random numbers and if I know their expectation/mean, would it be possible to deduce a PDF to describe the distribution of them? How do I make sure that when I generating these random numbers using the PDF I obtained, it will give me th correct mean/expectation value? Thanks.
