Let N be a positive integer random variable with PMF of the form
pN(n)=1/2⋅n⋅2^(−n),n=1,2,…. |
Once we see the numerical value of N, we then draw a random variable K whose (conditional) PMF is uniform on the set {1,2,…,2n}.
Find the marginal PMF pK(k) as a function of k. For simplicity, provide the answer only for the case when k is an even number. (The formula for when k is odd would be slightly different, and you do not need to provide it).
For k=2,4,6,…:
pK(k)=
