Answer #1

a)

first success at kth trial means there is failure in first (k-1)th trial and success on kth trial

hence

P(X = k) = (1-p)-

second success on kth trial means there is one success in first (k-1) trials and 2nd success on kth trial

hence

p(1 - p)*2p k-2 P(Y = k) =

p2(1-p)k-2

(A-1)p2 (1-p-2

b)

Yes, X follow geometric distribution with probability =p

Y follow negative binomial distribution (Pascal distribution) with r = 2
