We fix a real random variable $X : \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb { R }$, whose image $X ( \Omega )$ is a countable set, with $X ( \Omega ) = \left\{ x _ { n } , n \in \mathbb { N } \right\}$ and $a _ { n } = \mathbb { P } \left( X = x _ { n } \right)$.\\
Let $k \in \mathbb { N } ^ { * }$. We assume that $X$ admits a moment of order $k$.\\
Deduce that $\phi _ { X }$ is of class $C ^ { k }$ on $\mathbb { R }$ and give an expression of the $k$-th derivative of $\phi _ { X }$.
