Some Illustrative Classroom Examples Regarding Sums of Discrete Random Variables With Finite Support

In many probability and mathematical statistics courses the probability generating function (PGF) is typically overlooked in favor of the more utilized moment generating function. However, for certain types of random variables, the PGF may be more appealing. For example, sums of independent, non-neg...
