Substitute p = 0.65 into the formula for Geometric Probability Distribution and simplify. P(n) = p(1 − p)n − 1 = 0.65 1 − n − 1 = 0.65 n − 1 Therefore, the formula for the probability distribution of the random variable n is given by P(n) = .

A random variable X has a geometric distribution with parameter p (0 < p < 1) if and only if its probability function is given by f(x) = q^(x-1)p, x = 1, 2, 3, where q = 1 - p. Find the probability generating function for the geometric random variable X b Use the probability generating function to find the expected value and variance of the geometric random variable X

Let Xn have a negative binomial distribution with parameters r = n and p, where p is not a function of n. Let Yn = Xn/n. a. Find the limiting distribution of Yn = Xn/n using the moment generating function technique. Recall the moment generating function of a negative binomial distribution with parameters r (number of successes) and p (probability of success) is M(t) = (pe^t / (1 - (1 - p)e^t))^r for t < ln(1/(1 - p)). b. Find the limiting distribution of Yn = Xn/n using the Weak Law of Large Numbers. c. We have the following limiting distribution (Yn - 1/p) / (sqrt(1 - p) / (p*sqrt(n))) -> N(0, 1). Use this to find the limiting distribution of sqrt(n) exp(-pXn/n) cos(pi pXn/(2n)).
