Math Problem Statement
Suppose that U ∼ U [0, 1] is a uniform random variable with range [0, 1] (i.e., U has probability density function (PDF) fU (p) = 1 for all p ∈ [0, 1] and fU(p) = 0 for all p ̸∈ [0,1]). Suppose furthermore that X ∈ {1,2,...} is a discrete random variable such that the conditional probability mass function (PMF) of X given U = p ∈ [0, 1] is geometric with success probability p. in other words, for all p ∈ [0, 1], the conditional probability mass function (PMF) of X given U = p is ( (1−p)n−1p ifn∈{1,2,...}, pX|U=p(n) = 0 otherwise. (i) Specify P (X = 1) and P (X = 2). Explain.
