Jan 9, 2014 at 19:21 comment added Alecos Papadopoulos I have to ask the OP why he has cross-posted this to math.SE, here, math.stackexchange.com/questions/630201/…, (where he has also received a correct answer) and also, why he thought that any answer in math.SE is worthy of a bounty, while in CV is not.

Jan 8, 2014 at 10:38 comment added option_select Generally as the book deals with income, y is supposed to be taken as income and F(y) is the proportion of people who have received this income. But otherwise the problem is supposed to be abstract and that information is not really relevant to the calculation.

Jan 8, 2014 at 10:31 comment added option_select It's supposed to be a general result. F is some CDF. The book lists examples with the Pareto and log-normal distribution. But that is not the point. However there is supposed to be a PDF f available for F. So it is supposed to be differentiable
Jan 8, 2014 at 10:27 comment added ltronneberg Some more information would be appreciated if it's available; how is F distributed, or do you have an expression for it? Or is F the CDF of M?
