Question: a) If X Pois() and g is any function, show that : E Xg(X)] = E [g(X + 1)] (This is called the Stein-Chen identity

a) If X Pois() and g is any function, show that :

E Xg(X)] = E [g(X + 1)]

(This is called the Stein-Chen identity for the Poisson.)

(b) Find the third moment E [X3] for X Pois() by using the identity from (a) and the fact that X has mean and variance . Simplify your answer.
