If X is exponentially distributed with parameter λ and Y is uniformly distributed on the interval [a, b], what is the moment generating function of X + 2Y ?
Theorem 6.4 states that the moment-generating function of the gamma distribution is given by Mx(t) = (1-βt)^(-α).
LetX1,X2,...,Xn be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables having the Exponential(λ) distribution,λ >0,
fXi(x) ={λe−λx, x >0
0, otherwise
Define the random variable Y=X1+X2+···+Xn. Find E(Y),Var(Y)and the moment generating function ofY.
