(1 point) In Unit 3, I claimed that the sum of independent, identically distributed exponential random variables is a gamma random variable. Now that we know about moment generating functions, we can prove it. Let X be exponential with mean A 4. The density is 4 a) Find the moment generating function of X, and evaluate at t 3.9 The mgf of a gamma is more tedious to find, so l'll give it to you here. Let W Gamma(n, A...
