Blocks on a computer disk are good with probability p and faulty with probability 1− p. Blocks are good or bad independently of each other. Let Y denote the location (starting from 1) of the first bad block.

a : Find the pmf of Y.

b: Find the expected value of Y.

Suppose that a signal s that takes on values 1 and -1, with probability p and 1-p respectively, is sent from location A. The signal received at location B is Normally distributed with parameters (s, 2). Find the best estimate of the signal sent, in the Maximum Likelihood Estimate sense, if R, the value received at location B, is equal to r.
