Question38:-If X follows power series distribution with probability density function *P{X=x}=(a_(x)theta~(x))/(f(theta)), x=1,
2, ...; 2>0` and zero elsewhere, where “f(theta) * ="sumquad_(xepsiS)* ‘a _(x)theta%(x)* is a generating function; S is a
nonempty countable set of non-negative integers, then for what values of @ and f(@) does this distribution follows negative
binomial distribution.
