By considering the Theorem of Total Probability and the partitioning resulty-1(Y = y) = U ((Yı = t) n (Y2 = y – t))t=1for y = 2,3, ..., derive the pmf of Y. Suppose that two random variables Y1 and Y, are independent, that is, for all values of y, and y2,P((Yı = y1) n (Y2 = y2)) = P(Y1 = y1)P(Y2 = y2)that is, the events (Yı = y1) and (Y2 = y2) are independent. Suppose also that Yı and Y, have thesame Geometric distribution, that is Y1random variable Y as the sum of Yı and Y2, that is, Y = Y1 +Y2.Geometric(p) and Ý2 ~ Geometric(p). Define a third
