Distribution (DIST)

kGeometric Distribution

uGeometric Probability

Geometric probability calculates the probability at a specified value, and the number of the trial on which the first success occurs, for the geometric distribution with a specified probability of success.

f (x) = p(1– p) x – 1

(x = 1, 2, 3, ···)

The following shows the meaning of each item when data is specified using list specification.

Data ............................

data type

List ..............................

list whose contents you want to use as specified data

 

(List 1 to 20)

p ..................................

success probability (0 < p <1)

Save Res .....................

list for storage of calculation results (None or List 1 to 20)

Execute .......................

The following shows the meaning of a parameter data specification item that is different from list data specification.

x ..................................

positive integer (x >1)

After setting all the parameters, align the cursor with [Execute] and then press the function key shown below to perform the calculation.
