4. (a) Assume T > 0, and that the moment generating function Mx (t) of a random variable X is finite for t < T. Explain
the expansion
Mx (t) = 1+ ut +s?t² + o(t³),

where u =
E(X) and s2
E(X²). [You may assume the validity of interchanging expectation and differentiation.]
(b) Let X, Y be independent, identically distributed random variables with mean 0 and variance 1, and assume their
moment generating function M satisfies the condition of part (a) with T = o. Suppose that X +Y and X - Y are
independent.
(i) Using M(2t) deduce that (t) := M(t)/M(-t) satisfies (t) = »(t/2)². Clearly state any property of the
moment generating functions you use.
(ii) Show that b(h)
= 1+ o(h?) as h → 0, and deduce that (t)
= 1 for all t.
(iii) Show that X and Y are normally distributed.
