2.(a) In a series of independent tosses of a coin, with probability p of the coin landing 'heads',and probability 1-p of it landing 'tails', obtain an expression for Pr(X = x),1,2,3,..., where X is a random variable denoting the number of tosses until the firsthead appears.x =(b) If m is a positive integer, obtain an expression for Pr(Y = y), y = m,m +1, m+2, ..where Y is a random variable denoting the number of tosses until the mth head appears.

An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (h) and "tails" (*) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let N be the random variable counting the number of heads in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is ttt, then N (ttt) = 0. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of N as follows: X=2N -2. The values of X are given in the table below.
