Let X and Y be independent gamma random variables, both with the same scale parameter b. The value of the other parameter is1for X and2for Y. Use moment generating functions to show that X + Y is also gamma distributed with scale parameter b, and with the other parameter equal to1+2. Is X + Y gamma distributed if the scale parameters are different? Explain.
