There are a number of probability distributions that are known by name which can be equivalently described by their MGF. For example, the generating function for a discrete Poisson random variable with parameter λ is M(t)=eλ(et−1) For a continuous variable which is uniform on the interv...
Using mgf, prove that the summation of 2 iid exponential distributions with parameter lambda, divided by lambda, is a chi square distribution. Suppose that X1, . . . , Xn forms a random sample from a normal distribution for which the mean...
