A family will have children until they have one of each gender or will stop at 5 children. Let X be the number of children in a family.
1. determine the probability density function of X
2. Determine the expected value of X.
3. Determine the variance of X.
Solution
a) geometric distribution
b) expected value of X : 1/2 * 5 = 2.5
c) var = 1/2 * 1/2 * 5 = 1.25
