Hi all, With this question, the solutions pull out the term when x=0, so that the summation changes from (x=1, inf) to (x=0, inf) Is there a requirement for expectations to always be defined over (x=0, inf), or has this just been done to match the format required in the question? ie if i was simply asked for the expectation could i have kept it as sum(x=1,inf((-\theta^x/(log(1-\theta)) Thanks
managed to figure this part out, so just need help with why we would change the sum limits to (0,inf) please
Hi Molly You are just matching the required format for this question for the sum limits. Thanks Andrea
