What would be the simulation for the following statement?: A fair coin is tossed until the first head occurs. Do this Z = 10 times and plot the relative frequencies of this occurring at the ith toss, for suitable values of i.

close all
z=10;%number of times you want to repeat the experiment
s=zeros(0,z);

for j=1:z
coin=[];
i=1;
coin(i)=round(rand(1,1));
while(coin(i)==0)
    i=i+1;
    coin(i)=round(rand(1,1));
end
coin
s(j)=length(coin);
