Question: Consider a branching process as defined in 1.55, in which each family has a number of children that follows a shifted geometric distribution: pk = p(1 - p)k for k ≥ 0, which counts the number of failures before the first success when success has probability p. Compute the probability that starting from one individual the chain will be absorbed at 0.
