Question: Suppose that Y1 and Y2 are independent exponential random variables, each having pdf fY(y) =ey , y > 0. If Y = Y1 + Y2,

Suppose that Y1 and Y2 are independent exponential random variables, each having pdf fY(y) =λe−λy , y > 0. If Y = Y1 + Y2, it can be shown that
fY1 + Y2 (y) =λ2ye−λy, y > 0
