12. let Mx(1) be the moment generating function of X. Show that (a) Mex+o(t) = eMx(at)....
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...

Given f(x) = ( c(x + 1) if 1 < x < 3 0 else as a probability function for a continuous random variable; find a. c. b. The moment generating function MX(t). c. Use MX(t) to find the variance and the standard deviation of X.
Let X and Y be independent random variables, with known moment generang functions Mx(t) and My (t) and Z be such that P(Z = 1) = 1-P(Z 0) = p E (0,1). Compute the moment generating function of the random variable S- ZX (1 - Z)Y. [The distribution of S is called a mirture of the distributions of X and Y.] Your answer can be left in terms of Mx(t) and My (t) Hint: If you don't know how/where to...
A random variable has a moment generating function given by MX(t) = (e^t + 1)^4/16 . Find the expected value and the variance of the variable Y = 2X + 3
Use the given moment-generating function, Mx(t), to identify the distribution of the random variable, X in each of the following cases. (Specify the exact type of distribution and the value(s) of any relevant parameters(s): 1. (a) M(-3 (b) M() exp(2e -2) Ce) M T112t)3 (f) Mx(t) = ( 1-3t 10 ) (d) Mx(t)= exp(2t2_t) (e) Mx(t)= - m01 -2t)!
Use integration to derive the moment-generating function MX (t) where fX (x) = (1/3) e^(−x/3) for x > 0. (Since we are maily interested in t near 0, assume that t < 1/3 .) Then use MX (t) to compute E(X), E(X^2), V (X), and E(X^3).
Exercise 5.22. Let X ~ Exp(A). Find the moment generating function of Y = ЗX — 2. Hint. Do not try to compute the probability density function of Y, instead use Mx (t)
Random variable X has MGF(moment generating function) gX(t) = , t < 1. Then for random variable Y = aX, some constant a > 0, what is the MGF for Y ? What is the mean and variance for Y ?
(6) (15 points) The moment generating function for a normal random variable N (17,0?) is given by M(t) =e(+rt). Given Y with pdf N (4,0%), show that, if X and Y are independent, then the random variable 2 = x + Y is normally distributed with variance o + oz and mean 41 + 12. Please state clearly which properties of the moment generating function you are using.
