Question

A communication system sends data in the form of packets of fixed length. Noise in the communication channel may cause a packet to be received incorrectly. If this happens, the packer is retransmitted. Let the probability that a packet is received incorrectly is p. Determine the average number of transmissions that are necessary before a packet is received correctly.
