Step-by-step solution
3 stepsIdentify the distribution of X and its parameters.
The variable represents the number of attempts to the first success, with the probability of success for each attempt. This means follows a Geometric distribution with parameter .
Calculate the mean and variance of X.
For a Geometric distribution :
The mean is .
The variance is .Substitute :
Calculate the mean and variance of Y.
Given .
Using the properties of expectation :Using the properties of variance :
The mean of Y is and the variance of Y is .
