Let X have a Geometric distribution with parameter p. Its moment generating function (MGF) is given by M(t) = (pe^t) / (1 - (1 - p)e^t), t < -ln(1 - p). Let X1, X2, ..., X5 be a random sample from the Geometric distribution with parameter p. Let Y = X1 + ... + X5. (a) Calculate the MGF of Y. (b) Find the MGF of Y/5.
