Question

Hi. I got the answers to this question wrong even after asking an expert so please can you give it another go and help me with the solutions to this question. Thank you

Suppose that Z₁, Z2, ..., Zn are statistically independent
random variables. Define Y as the sum of squares of these random variables:
n
Y = Z² (n ≥2)
i=1
(a) Express the moment generating function My(t) of the random variable Y in terms
of moment generating functions involving the random variables Zi, i = 1,..., n.
(b) Determine My(t) for the special case that Z; ~ N(0, 1).
(c) For the above special case, calculate E[Y] by using the moment generating
function.
