Question: *9. Geometric distribution. Show how a random sample can be obtained from the following geometric distribution: f(x) = p(l - p)X, x = 0,1,2, ...

*9. Geometric distribution. Show how a random sample can be obtained from the following geometric distribution:

f(x) = p(l - p)X, x = 0,1,2, ...

The parameter x is the number of (Bernoulli) failures until a success occurs, and p is the probability of a success, 0 < p < 1. Generate five samples for p = .6 using the first five random numbers in column 1 of Table 16.l.
