  • Understand the concept of a probability generating function (PGF) and construct and use the PGF for given distributions e.g discrete uniform, binomial, geometric and Poisson distributions

  • Use formulae for the mean and variance of a discrete random variable in terms of its PGF, and use these formulae to calculate the mean and variance of a given probability distribution

  • Use the result that the PGF of the sum of independent random variables is the product of the PGFs of those random variables.
