We are going to talk about moment generating functions in this lesson. Moment generating functions are one of the most confusing topics that people encounter in probability. We are going to try to walk you through them and show you what they are used for. The initial idea we'll talk about is a moment. We start with a random variable and it can be discrete or continuous. We will talk about moment generating functions for all of the distributions that we have been studying. We can talk about moments and we can talk about moment generating functions for all of these distributions.
