?The chi-squared random variable with k degrees of freedom has moment-generating

Chapter 5, Problem 5.8.4

(choose chapter or problem)

The chi-squared random variable with k degrees of freedom has moment-generating function \(M_{X}(t)=(1-2 t)^{-k / 2}\). Suppose that \(X_{1}\) and \(X_{2}\) are independent chi-squared random variables with \(k_{1}\) and \(k_{2}\) degrees of freedom, respectively. What is the distribution of \(Y=X_{1}+X_{2}\) ?

Text Transcription:

M_X(t)=(1-2t)^-k/2

X_1

X_2

k_1

k_2

Y=X_1+X_2
