Question: The moment generating function of X is given by M X (t) =e t p/1(1p)e t Now let X 1 be the number of tests

The moment generating function of X is given by

MX(t) =etp/1(1p)et

Now let X1 be the number of tests up to and including the first positive, X2 the number of tests from the first positive up to and including the second positive, and further Xr the number of tests from (r 1) positive up to and including r positive. Then Y = ri=1 Xi number of tests up to and including r positive test.

c) Find E (Y) expectation and V (Y) variance and calculate the expected number of tests performed up to and including the 10th positive, if p is still 0.001.

d) Find expression for P(Y=k), k = r, r + 1, ....
