correctly.

The offspring distribution of
a branching process
{Zn; n = 1, 2,...} is geometric
distribution with parameters
0.4. If (Z = 1 and G₁(s) be the
probability generating
functions of distribution of
the n-th generation; n=1,2,3..
Find (round off to three
decimal points)
(i)
G3(0)
G4(0)
G5(0)
(ii) the probability that the
time that the process first
goes into extinction is at the
fifth generation
