The moment generating function (MGF) for a random variable X is: Mx (t) = E[e'X]. Onc useful property of moment generating functions is that they make it relatively casy to compute weighted sums of independent random variables: Z=aX+BY M26) - Mx(at)My (Bt). (A) Derive the MGF for a Poisson random variable X with parameter 1. (B) Let X be a Poisson random variable with parameter 1, as above, and let y be a Poisson random variable with parameter y. X...

Having troubles with question 2. Please help 2. If X has a Gamma distribution with parameters a and B, then its mgf is given by (a) Obtain expressions for the moment-genérating functions of an exponential random variable and of a chi-square random variable by recognizing that these are special cases of a Gamma distribution and using the mgf given above. (b) Suppose that X1 is a Gamma variable with parameters α1 and β, X2 is a Gamma variable with parameters...

Let X, X2, ..., X, be independent with X-Gamma (a,b). Let Y = EX. Prove that Y-Gamma (a,b)
(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...
