Let X, Y be independent random variables where X is binomial(n = 4, p = 1/3) and Y is binomial(n = 3,p = 1/3). Find the moment-generating functions of the three random variables X, Y and X + Y . (You may look up the first two. The third follows from the first two and the behavior of moment-generating functions.) Now use the moment-generating function of X + Y to find the distribution of X + Y .

8. Use characteristic functions to show that if statistically independent random variables X and Y are added, where X is Bernoulli(P) and Y is Binomial(n, p), the resulting random variable is Binomial(n +1,p). Hint: when random variables are discrete (like they are in this case), the pdf is made up of weighted impulses. The characteristic function is then very easy to compute. 8. Use characteristic functions to show that if statistically independent random variables X and Y are added, where...
