The mode of a discrete random variable X with pmf px is that
The mode of a discrete random variable X with p.m.f. p(x) is that
value x* for which p(x) is largest (the most probable x value).
Consider X {# failures before the 1st success}, distributed geometric(p)
... determine the mode of this distribution.
Solution
Failures before first success can take values 0,1,2,3,,,,,,,,
Thus each positive number including 0 will occur only once in this distribution.
MOdes are all integers starting from 0.
