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...

Let X be a continuous random variable with density, and let X1, X2 be two independent draws from X. Then, not usually is it the case that the random variable 2X is distributed as X1 + X2. However, the Cauchy density, which is given by the form , possesses the following property; X1+X2 has the same distribution as the random variable 2X. a. Let X be a binomial. Argue, based on the properties of the binomial distribution, that X1 +...
