So we may as well get that out of the way first.
													
																	Floor x geometric random variable. 
									
	
		
	
																	Is the floor or greatest integer function. 
																	The expected value mean μ of a beta distribution random variable x with two parameters α and β is a function of only the ratio β α of these parameters. 
																	An exercise problem in probability. 
																	The appropriate formula for this random variable is the second one presented above. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Recall the sum of a geometric series is. 
																	Narrator so i have two different random variables here. 
																	An alternative formulation is that the geometric random variable x is the total number of trials up to and including the first success and the number of failures is x 1. 
																	Then x is a discrete random variable with a geometric distribution. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	And what i wanna do is think about what type of random variables they are. 
																	In the graphs above this formulation is shown on the left. 
																	If x 1 and x 2 are independent geometric random variables with probability of success p 1 and p 2 respectively then min x 1 x 2 is a geometric random variable with probability of success p p 1 p 2 p 1 p 2. 
																	In order to prove the properties we need to recall the sum of the geometric series. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	The relationship is simpler if expressed in terms probability of failure. 
																	The geometric distribution is a discrete distribution having propabiity begin eqnarray mathrm pr x k p 1 p k 1 k 1 2 cdots end eqnarray where. 
																	X g or x g 0. 
																	Q q 1 q 2. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Let x and y be geometric random variables. 
																	Also the following limits can. 
																	On this page we state and then prove four properties of a geometric random variable. 
																	Cross validated is a question and answer site for people interested in statistics machine learning data analysis data mining and data visualization. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Well this looks pretty much like a binomial random variable. 
																	Find the conditional probability that x k given x y n. 
																	So this first random variable x is equal to the number of sixes after 12 rolls of a fair die.
