Basic Math

A fair coin is tossed until the first head occurs. Do thisexperiment T = 10; 100; 1,000; 10,000 times in R, and plot therelative frequencies of this occurring at the ith toss, forsuitable values of i. Compare this plot to the pmf that shouldgovern such an experiment. Show that they converge as T increases.What is the expected number of tosses required? For each value ofT, what is the sample average of the number of tosses required?
