Question
![The random variable X has the geometric distribution with probability mass function (pmf)
Px (x) = q*p, x = 0, 1, 2, ... 0<p< 1,
where q = 1-p
i)
Find P(X > x) and show that P(X < 3) = 1-q*.
ii)
Explain why
P[X is odd(= 1,3,5,7, ...)] = q x P[X is even(= 0,2,4,6, ...)]
And hence otherwise show that
P(X is odd ) :
1+q
Find P(X is odd|X < 3) as a function of q, and, given that
