**Problem 6**

Let the continuous-type random variables \( X \) and \( Y \) have the joint probability density function (pdf) \( f(x, y) = e^y \) for \( 0 < x < y < \infty \), and 0 elsewhere.

(a) Compute the moment generating function (mgf) of \( (X, Y) \).

(b) Use the result from 6(a) to obtain the mgf of \( Z = Y - X \) and then give the density function for \( Z \).
