Question 1
What is the additivity property of moment-generating functions?
- M_{X+Y}(t) = M_X(t) + M_Y(t)
- M_{X+Y}(t) = M_X(t) * M_Y(t)
- M_X(t) = M_Y(t)
💡 Hint: Focus on how MGFs relate when combining random variables.
Question 2
True or False:MGFs can only be applied to continuous random variables.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider the characteristics of different types of variables.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
In a system where two independent components have lifetimes distributed with MGFs M_X(t) = e^{3t} and M_Y(t) = e^{4t}, derive the MGF for the overall system. Discuss how this impacts reliability.
💡 Hint: Focus on the strengths of each MGF and how they combine.
Question 2
For two independent random variables representing the heights of plants where M_X(t) = 1/(1 - t) and M_Y(t) = 1/(1 - 2t), find M_{X+Y}(t) and discuss the implications for variance.
💡 Hint: Remember how MGFs link moments and variance through their structure.
