Find the generating function of x and use it to nd the mean


Assignment 1: We throw a coin, where the probability of obtaining head in a throw is p, where p ∈]0,1[. We let the random variable X denote the number of throws until we get the results head-tail in the given succession (thus we have X = n, if the pair head-tail occurs for the ?rst time in the experiments of numbers n-1 and n). Find the generating function of X and use it to ?nd the mean and variance of X. For which value of p is the mean smallest?
