Part a) Using any method, find E[Y].
Transcribed Image Text:Let Y be a random variable with moment-generating function m(t) = ¿e-t ++je4t, where -00 <t < ∞. Part a) Using any method, find E[Y].
Expert Solution
Step 1

Part (a)

The expression for E(Y) is,

E(Y)=dm(t)dtt=0

Differentiate the expression for Moment generating function with respect to t implies,

dm(t)dt=-14e-t+0+14×4e4t=-14e-t+e4t
