a) The random variable Z is continuous uniform(a,b) random variable. Find the Moment generating function (MGF) of Z, ϕZ(s).
b) Let Y1, Y2, and Y3 be independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Gaussian(0,σ) (mean = 0, and standard deviation = σ) random variables. A derived random variable X is given as X = Y1 + Y2 + Y3. Find the PDF of X using Moment Generating function (MGF). The MGF of a Gaussian(μ,σ) random variable is given as e^{sμ+s^2σ^2/2}.
c) Consider a sequence of ten independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables Xi, i = 1, ...,10. The expected value of Xi is 2 and the variance of Xi is 10.
Let Y = (X1+X2+...+X10)/10. Use the Central Limit Theorem to find P(Y>4). Express this probability in terms of the standard normal CDF function ϕ(z).
