We can define a PGF for a continuous random variable is False as: P(X = x) = 0 for continuous random variables, so a PGF cannot be defined.

\n

Two different probability mass functions can lead to the same PGF if False as: there is a 1-1 correspondence between a PGF and its probability mass function.
