Derive the moment generating function of the binomial distribution and calculate the mean and variance. p(x) = (n choose x) p^x (1-p)^{n-x} x=0,1,2,...,n

Obtain the moment generating function of the number of failures, $n-X,$ in a binomial experiment, and use it to determine the expected number of failures and the variance of the number of failures. Are the expected value and variance intuitively consistent with the expressions for $E(X)$ and $\operatorname{Var}(X) ?$ Explain.
