Applying the Moment Generating Functions to the Study of Probability Distributions

In this paper, we describe a tool to aid in proving theorems about random variables, called the moment generating function, which converts problems about probabilities and expectations into problems from calculus about function values and derivates. We show how the moment generating function determi...
