The negative binomial distribution is an extension of the geometric distribution, and so is also related to the Bernoulli distribution. Whereas the geometric distribution results from counting the…

The Bernoulli and binomial distributions are used for modeling a dichotomous experiment or a sequence of independent dichotomous experiments, respectively. Alone, both distributions apply to a wide…

In this lesson, a brief review of the general properties of discrete distributions is provided.
