Use the geometric distribution to derive E(Y), E(Y^2), and V(Y) from the Poisson distribution 

Expert Solution
Step 1: Define geometrical distribution

The geometric distribution and Poisson distribution are two different types of probability distributions, each with its own distinct characteristics and parameters.

The geometric distribution models the number of trials needed for the first success in a sequence of independent Bernoulli trials, while the Poisson distribution models the number of events in a fixed interval of time or space.
