(a) For any random variable X and λ>0 and t>0, show that
P(X>t)⩽E(eλX)e−λt
For a standard normal random variable X, compute E(eλX) and deduce that
P(X>t)⩽e−21t2
(b) Let μ,λ>0,μ=λ. For independent random variables X and Y with distributions Exp(λ) and Exp(μ), respectively, compute the probability density functions of X+Y and min{X,Y}.
