Show that the result given in Exercise 3.158 also holds for continuous random variables. That is, show that, if Y is a random variable with moment-generating function m(1) and U is given by U = aY + b, the moment-generating function of U is em(at). If Y has mean u and variance o?, use the moment-generating function of U to derive the mean and variance of U. Recall: my(t) = E(etY) and whent = 0 then my(0) = E(e°Y) = E(1) = 0 and d*m(t)] = tk- dik and M) = F(*) = E (*) %3D = E (X et×). Similarly, %3D diz M(t) () = E (X² c²X). = E %3D
