geometric distribution
geometric distribution n (Statistics) statistics the distribution of the number, x, of independent trials required to obtain a first success: where the probability in each is p, the probability that x = r is p(1-p)r–1, where r = 1, 2, 3, …, with mean 1/p.

geometric distribution[¦jē·ə¦me·trik ‚dis·trə′byü·shən] (statistics) A discrete probability distribution whose probability function is given by the equation P (x) = p (1 -p) x- 1for x any positive integer, p (x) = 0 otherwise, when 0 ≤ p ≤ 1; the mean is 1/ p. |
