The probability for value x in a geometric distribution is for non-negative integers, and is zero otherwise. »

GeometricDistribution[p] is the distribution of the number of failures in a sequence of trials with success probability p before a success occurs.

GeometricDistribution can be used with such functions as Mean, CDF and RandomInteger. »
