The correct answer is

5 / 4θ

To find the ratio of the raw moments 34) for a uniformly distributed random variable X with a = 0 and b = θ, we start by calculating the raw moments:

Raw moment μn for uniform distribution is given by:

μn = ∫abxnf(x)dx = ∫0θxn-1)dx

Solving this integral gives:

μn = [θ-1xn+1/(n+1)] from x=0 to x=θ

μn = [θ-1n+1)/(n+1)] = θn/(n+1)

Using this formula, calculate μ3 and μ4:

μ3 = θ3/4

μ4 = θ4/5

Now, calculate the ratio (μ34):

34) = (θ3/4) / (θ4/5)

= (θ3/4) * (5/θ4)

= 5/(θ * 4)

= 5/4θ

For a simplification, assume θ cancels out:

The ratio of raw moments is 5 / 4θ.
