a) Find the probability mass function of X, confirming that the sum over all possible values
of X is one.
b) Obtain E(X)
c) The probability of an enemy aircraft penetrating friendly airspace is 0.01.
i) What is the probability that the first penetration of friendly airspace is accomplished
by the 80th aircraft to attempt the penetration, assuming penetration attempts are
independent?
i) What is the probability that it will take more than 80 attempts to penetrate friendly
airspace?
i) Consider Y, the total number of failures before the second success. Find the probability
mass function of Y. By considering the mean of X, show that
E (Y) = 2|
