That is, the moment generating function for a sum of squared standard normal random variables. Enjoy! What is a moment generating function: https://youtu.be/vTFxR5fJjEQ?si=O6fgV6MWZtIn9rQ7 MGF of a sum equals product of MGFs (used for this derivation): Gaussian integral derivation: https://youtu.be/TmEzQCvEK7Q Other moment generating function derivations: Bernoulli: https://youtu.be/wuTsi5hl79w Binomial: https://youtu.be/kvGCObQGmgc Poisson: https://youtu.be/HVli4kW_Uf0 Geometric: https://youtu.be/dIrTh1xMAfI Rademacher: https://youtu.be/uYLBKhVOWVQ Exponential: https://youtu.be/kfFhrS3gB-c Normal: https://youtu.be/H7LRi0k9AII Negative Binomial: https://youtu.be/PLJSi4ZOayU Probability playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVCXZWWAqqwQBQdi0cnnKqLrR4aiR85yu
