A random variable X can take all non-neg...

A random variable `X` can take all non-negative integral values and the probabililty that `X` takes the value `r` is proportional to `alpha^r(0

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have `P(X=r) propto(1 / alpha^{r})`

`Rightarrow P(X=r)=k times frac{1}{alpha^{r}} text { (where } k text { is any constant } `

`Rightarrow P(r=0)=k cdot frac{1}{alpha^{circ}} `

`P(r=1)=frac{k}{alpha} `

`P(r=2)=frac{k}{alpha^{2}} `

`P(r=3)=frac{k}{alpha^{3}}`
