Define the concept of an exponential dispersion family. Show that the family of scaled binomial distributions 1nBin(n,p)\frac{1}{n} \operatorname{Bin}(n, p), with p(0,1)p \in(0,1) and nNn \in \mathbb{N}, is of exponential dispersion family form.

Deduce the mean of the scaled binomial distribution from the exponential dispersion family form.

What is the canonical link function in this case?
