ANSWER:

Solution

Step 1 of 2

We have to show that Y2 has a poisson distribution with mean

Given that Y1 and Y2 are two random variables

And W=Y1 + Y2 

Here W has a poisson distribution with mean

And  Y1 has a poisson distribution with mean

The moment generating function of X is

The moment generating function of W has a poisson distribution  with mean  is

                                     

 The moment generating function of Y1 has a poisson distribution  with mean  is
