A coin with P[Heads]= p and P[Tails]= 1p is tossed repeatedly (the tosses are independent). Define (X = number of the toss on which the first H appears, Y = number of the toss on which the second H appears. Clearly 1X<Y. (i) Are X and Y independent? Why or why not? (ii) What is the probability distribution of X? (iii) Find the probability distribution of Y . (iv) Let Z = Y X. Find the joint probability mass function

A coin is tossed repeatedly; on each toss, a head is shown with probability p or a tail with probability 1 − p. All tosses are independent. Let E denote the event that the first run of r successive heads occurs earlier than the first run of s successive tails. Let A denote the outcome of the first toss. Show that P(E|A=head)=pr−1 +(1−pr−1)P(E|A=tail). Find a similar expression for P (E | A = tail) and then find P (E).
