Probability related to Poisson distribution

34 Views Asked by At

It is required to obtain the $E[(X+1)!]$ where $X$ follows the Poisson distribution with the parameter $\lambda$.

My approach

The given Expectation can be written in the following form:

$E[(X+1)!]=E[(X+1)X]=E(X^2+X)=E(X^2)+E(X)$

Is my approach correct? I am not sure. I have done this as $x$ can take only non negative Values.
