3. Calculating PGFs (Probability Generating Functions)

In the last video, we introduced the PGF:

In this video, we actually calculate the PGFs of some common distributions: the Binomial and Bernoulli. I find that actually 'doing out' the PGFs helps us develop intuition around these (sometimes difficult) functions. We also discover another useful property of PGFs along the way.
