The expectation E[X²] is also called:

Answer: Both B and C.

  • A Variance
  • B Second raw moment
  • C Mean square
  • D Both B and C

Correct answer: D. Both B and C

Explanation: E[Xᵏ] = k-th raw moment (moment about zero/origin). So E[X²] = second raw moment. It is also called mean square (average of squared values). Note: Var(X) = E[X²] − (E[X])² ≠ E[X²] unless E[X]=0. Answer: both B (second raw moment) and C (mean square).
