The geometric distribution is a oneparameter family of curves that models the number of failures before one success in a series of independent trials, where each trial results in either success or failure, and the probability of success in any individual trial is constant.

In a geometric experiment, define the discrete random variable x as the number of independent trials until the first success. In this case the experiment continues until either a success or a failure occurs rather than for a set number of trials. The cumulative distribution function cdf of a random variable is another method to describe the distribution of random variables.
