(i) If a discrete random variable X has a moment generating function M_{X}(t) = frac{e^{-t} + 3 + 4e^{5t}}{10e^{t}} + frac{1}{5}, quad forall t Find the probability mass function of X. (ii) Let X and Y be two independent continuous random variables with moment generating functions M_{X}(t) = frac{1}{sqrt{1 - 2t}} quad ext{and} quad M_{Y}(t) = frac{1}{(1 - 2t)^{3/2}}, quad t < 1/2 Calculate mathbb{E}(X + Y)^{2}
