Suppose X₁, X2,... are i.i.d. with moment generating function Mx(t). LetN be a nonnegative integer-valued random variable, independent of the X₁, with momentgenerating function My(t). Consider the random sum SX₁. In terms of Mxand MN, find the moment generating function of S. Use this to rederive the mean of S.Specializing to the case where the X, are Poisson with mean λ and N is Poisson with meanμ, what is the moment generating function of S?
