Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A discrete random variable has an MGF of M_X(t) = (0.5 * e^t + 0.5 * e^2t). Calculate the first two moments using this MGF.
💡 Hint: Differentiate MGF twice, evaluate at t=0.
Question 2
Given two independent random variables with MGFs M_X(t) = e^(2t) and M_Y(t) = e^(3t), find M_{X+Y}(t).
💡 Hint: Use the property of additivity of MGFs.
