Consider tossing a "fair" coin until a head occurs. The outcome
space S = {l, 2, 3, ••• }. Assuming the outcomes of the tosses
to be independent, find the probability of
(a) One required toss.
(b) Two required tosses.
(c) x required tosses.
(d) Assume the probability the coin shows heads is 0 <>
with q = 1 - p, find the probability of x required tosses.
Show that these probabilities sum to 1.
