GeometricDistribution

GeometricDistribution[p]
represents a geometric distribution with probability parameter p.

DetailsDetails

  • The probability for value 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 RandomVariate. »
