Let X be a gamma variable with parameters α and λ, where λ is the rate parameter. For a gamma distribution, the mean and variance are given by E(X) = α/λ and Var(X) = α/λ². Given E(X) = 6 and Var(X) = 3, we have α/λ = 6 …(1) α/λ² = 3 …(2) Dividing (2) by (1), (α/λ²)/(α/λ) = 3/6 1/λ = 1/2 λ = 2 Substituting λ = 2 into (1), α/2 = 6 α = 12 Thus, α = 12 and λ = 2. The moment generating function of a gamma variable with parameters α and
