i am currently working on a study guide and one of the questions i am completely stuck on and have no idea how to do it.
Question is.
You are interested in the number of rolls of a fair 6 sided die until a number 2
shows up.
Let X= The number of times you roll the die until a number 2 shows up.
(a) What type of random variable is X?
(b) How many rolls do you expect it to take? That is, what is the expected value, or mean, of the random variable X?
(c) What is the probability you roll a 2 for the first time on the fourth roll? i.e. What is P(X=4)?
