Given a source that emits photons let be $X$ the number of photons emitted in $s$ seconds. Let be $p$ the probability that photons reach a detector and let be $Y$ the number of photos that reached the detector after $s$ seconds.
I need to find:
- Distribution of $X$;
- $\mathbb{P}(Y=y \mid X=x)$;
- Marginal distribution of $Y$.
Q1
$X\sim\mathrm{Po}(\lambda s)$ $$\mathbb{P}(X=x)=e^{\lambda s}\dfrac{(\lambda s)^x}{x!}$$
Q2
Not sure about this:
$$\mathbb{P}(Y =y\mid X=x)=\binom{x}{y}p^y(1-p)^{x-y}$$
Q3
Any suggest?
