Question

Given a random variable X with Moment Generating function M(t), compute the
Moment generating functions for the following random variables (in terms of M).
In each subpart, k is a scalar.

a. kX
b. X + k
c. ∑ Xi (FROM i=0 to i=N), where all Xi are sampled independently from X
d. A random variable Y with PDF(Y) = PDF (X + k), both PDF
defined over R.
e. A random variable Y with PDF(Y) = PDF (2X)
