Basic Probability Let us consider a sequence of Bernoulli trials with probability of success p. Such a sequence is observed until the first success occurs. We denote by X the random variable (r.v.), which gives the trial number on which the first success occurs. This way, the probability mass function (pmf) is given by Px(x) = (1 – p)?-?p which means that will be x 1 failures before the occurrence of the first success at the x-th trial. The r.v....
Problem 5 (10 points). Suppose that the independent Bernoulli trials each with success probability p, are performed independently until the first success occurs, Let Y be the number of trials that are failure. (1) Find the possible values of Y and the probability mass function of Y. (2) Use the relationship between Y and the random variable with a geometric distribution with parameter p to find E(Y) and Var(Y).
Problem 2. This problem investigates the similarity between the geometric and ex- ponential random variables observed last week. Let Y be a geometric random variable with parameter p, so that Y represents the trial number of the first success in a sequence of independent Bernoulli trials. Suppose the trials occur at times , 2, . . . , and that δ and p are both very small. Let λ /δ. At time t, about t/6 trials have taken place (a)...

We have seen that the geometric distribution Geo(p) is used to model a random variable, X that records the trial number at which the first success isachieved after consecutive failures in each of the preceding trials ("success" and failure being used in a very loose sense here). Here, p is the success probability in each trial. We described the geometric distribution using the probability mass function: f(X)(1- p)*-1p, which computes the probability of achieving success in the xth trial after...
