Question
**Question 7**

Suppose the moment generating function for a random variable \( X \) is given by:

\[ M_X(t) = \frac{0.3}{0.3 - t} \]

Let \( Y = 0.9X - 9 \).

Determine the moment generating function of \( Y \).

**Options:**

- **A:** \(\frac{0.3}{0.3 - t} e^{-9t}\)
- **B:** \(\frac{0.3}{0.3 - t} e^{9t}\)
- **C:** \(\frac{0.3}{0.3 - t} e^{-0.3t}\)
- **D:** \(\frac{1}{1 - 3t} e^{-9t}\)
- **E:** \(\frac{1}{1 - 3t} e^{9t}\)

This question involves determining the moment generating function of the transformed variable \( Y \) based on the given function for \( X \).
