Let X be a random variable with a uniform discrete distribution. Then [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.] The probability generating function is [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.] t, t2, t3, …, tn is a geometric series with first term t, ratio t, and n terms. Hence [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.] by the result for the sum of a geometric series. Then [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.] [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.] [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.] [Equation goes here &- download the original to see it.]
