Question

Let X be a discrete random variable with range {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}: Suppose that Pr(X = 0) = Pr(X = 1); Pr(X = k + 1) = 1/k Pr(X = k); k = 1, 2, 3, 4, ... Find Pr(X = 0): NB: The power series of e^x = sum_{n=0}^{infinity} 1/n! x^n, with the factorial n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2)(n - 3)... 3(2)(1)

Find Pr(X = 0):

NB: The power series of e^x = sum_{n=0}^{infinity} 1/n! x^n, with the factorial
n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2)(n - 3)... 3(2)(1)
