Question

Let X and Y be two independent random variables on the interval [0,1]. This kind is called a standard normal. By computing the moment generating function for the sum, X+Y, show whether the sum of two independent uniform random variables on [0,1] is also uniform or not.

Step 1

First, we need to find the probability density functions (pdf) of X and Y. Since they are both uniform random variables on [0,1], their pdfs are given by: f_X(x) = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } 0 \le x \le 1 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} f_Y(y) = Show more…
