Expert Solution
Step 1

According to Bartleby guildlines we have to solve first three subparts and rest can be reposted....

We have given that 

X follows Geometric distribution having the probability mass function is 

P(X=x)=(1-p)xp.      x=0,1,2....

And the mean of geometric distribution 

E(X)=(1-p)/p 

Then we have to MLE of p, Method of moment estimator of p and posterior distribution of p:
