**Problem 2:**Let \( X \) denote the length (in seconds) of the next smile of a randomly selected 8-week old baby. Suppose that \( X \) is uniformly distributed on the interval \([0, 23]\).(a) What is the probability that the next smile of a randomly selected 8-week old baby is between 15 and 25 seconds in length?(b) What is the moment generating function \( M(t) \) of \( X \)? No work is required for this part.

It is a problem of a uniform probability distribution.

Answered: Let X denote the length (in seconds) of…
