(4)(2 Points) Let x be a Z-valued random variable. Show that x is Poisson
distributed with parameter =1 if and only if for any bounded function
f:ZR one has
E(f(x+1))=E(xf(x))
Hint: For the reverse part you might want to try the explicit function f=I{a+1}
for some ainZ, start with a=-1 and define the constant c:=P(Y=0). Then
express P(Y=a) in terms of P(Y=0) if a0 and in terms of P(Y=-1) if a0.
