Chapter 5, Problem 5.8.10

(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose that \(X_{i}\) has a normal distribution with mean \(\mu_{i}\) and variance \(\sigma_{i}^{2}\), i=1,2. Let \(X_{1}\) and \(X_{2}\) be independent.

(a) Find the moment-generating function of \(Y=X_{1}+X_{2}\).

(b) What is the distribution of the random variable Y ?
