Page 164, 3.1.12.* Let \( X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_{k-1} \) have a multinomial distribution.

(a) Find the mgf of \( X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_{k-2} \).

(b) What is the pmf of \( X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_{k-2} \)?

(c) Determine the conditional pmf of \( X_{k-1} \) given that \( X_1 = x_1, X_2 = x_2, \ldots, X_{k-2} = x_{k-2} \).

(d) What is the conditional expectation \( E(X_{k-1} | x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{k-2}) \)?
