Question

Transcribed Image Text:(a) Suppose X₁, X2,..., Xn are statistically independent random variables with
moment generating functions Mx, (t), i = 1, ...,n. Find the moment generating
function of
Y=X₁
i=1
and justify all steps in your proof.
(b) Suppose that each X; ~ Exp(X) for i = 1,..,n. Show that Y = C₁ X₁ has a
Ga(n, λ) distribution.
Hint: You may recall that the moment generating function of a Ga (n, X) random
variable is
