Sequence of independent bernoulli trials

Reference no: EM131832895

Suppose one performed a sequence of independent Bernoulli trials (in which the probability of success at each trial is p) until the first success occurs. Show for any integer n = 1, 2 ,... that the probability that n will be the number of trials required to achieve the first success is pq^n-1.
