Let X1 and X2 be independent identically distributed random variables with pmf p(0) = 1/4, p(1) = 1/2, p(2) = 1/4

(a) What is the probability mass function (pmf) of X1 + X2?

(b) What is the probability mass function (pmf) of X(2) = max{X1, X2}?

(d) What is the MGF of X1 + X2? (Note: The formulas we did were for the continuous case, so they don’t directly apply here, but you might find the ideas useful.)
