An experiment consists of rolling a pair of (six-sided) dice and observing the sum. This experiment is repeated until the sum of 7 is observed at which point the experiment stops. Let be the random variable which represents the number of times the experiment is repeated. That is, if the first occurrence of {sum=7} happens on the 5th roll of the dice, then N=5
(a) Find the probability mass function for the random variable . That is, find ![](https://test.transtutors.com/qimg/5a57a777-b331-44cf-afeb-9957d33189a5.png)
(b) What is the probability that the experiment proceeds for at least 4 rolls? That is, ![](https://test.transtutors.com/qimg/aff93420-b01e-4feb-b088-79a6701d7f81.png)
