Let Y=X₁+X₂+...+X14.
(b) Find which of the following statements are correct for the moment generating function (mgf) My(t) of Y.
It is equal to the sum of the mgfs of the Xi, for i=1,...,14
It is equal to the product of the mgfs of the Xi, for i=1,...,14
OIt is equal to the mgf of any Xi to the power of 1/14, for i=1,...,14
The mgf of 2Y is obtained by replacing in the mgf of Y the value t by 2t.
It is equal to 14 times the mgf of Xi, for some integer i between 1 and 14
It is equal to 9 times the mgf of any Xi to the power of 14, for some integer i between 1 and 14
