PascalDistribution
PascalDistribution[n, p]
represents a Pascal distribution with parameters n and p.
Details
- The probability for value
in a Pascal distribution is ![TemplateBox[{{x, -, 1}, {n, -, 1}}, Binomial] p^n(1-p)^(x-n)](Files/PascalDistribution.en/2.png "TemplateBox[{{x, -, 1}, {n, -, 1}}, Binomial] p^n(1-p)^(x-n)")
for 
, and is zero otherwise. - PascalDistribution[n, p] gives the distribution of the number of trials with success probability p before n successes occur.
- PascalDistribution allows n to be any positive integer.
- PascalDistribution can be used with such functions as Mean, CDF, and RandomVariate.
