The geometric distribution is discrete. It describes the number of trials until the first successful occurrence, such as the number of times you need to spin a roulette wheel before you win or how many wells to drill before you strike oil.

Geometric Conditions
The geometric distribution is used under these conditions:
Number of trials is not fixed.
Trials continue until the first success.
Probability of success is the same from trial to trial; if there is a 10% probability, this is entered 0.10.
