Chapter 6, Problem 6.104

(choose chapter or problem)

Let Y1 and Y2 be independent random variables, each having the same geometric distribution. a Find P(Y1 = Y2) = P(Y1 Y2 = 0). [Hint: Your answer will involve evaluating an infinite geometric series. The results in Appendix A1.11 will be useful.] b Find P(Y1 Y2 = 1). *c If U = Y1 Y2, find the (discrete) probability function for U. [Hint: Part (a) gives P(U = 0), and part (b) gives P(U = 1). Consider the positive and negative integer values for U separately.]
