MATH 2311 Section 3.3

Geometric Distributions The geometric distribution is the distribution produced by the random variable X defined to count the number of trials needed to obtain the first success. For example: Flipping a coin until you get a head Rolling a die until you get a 5

A random variable X is geometric if the following conditions are met: 1. Each observation falls into one of just two categories, “success” or “failure.” 2. The probability of success is the same for each observation. 3. The observations are all independent. 4. The variable of interest is the number of trials required to obtain the first success. Notice that this is different from the binomial distribution in that the number of trials is unknown. With geometric distributions we are trying to determine how many trials are needed in order to obtain a success.

Calculating a Geometric Distribution

You are rolling a 6-sided die. What is the probability that the first time it lands on 3 is the fifth throw? What is probability it will take less than five throws? More than five throws?

Mean and Variance

Examples: From text: #8. A quarter back completes 44% of his passes. We want to observe this quarterback during one game to see how many pass attempts he makes before completing one pass. a. What is the probability that the quarterback throws 3 incomplete passes before he has a completion? b. How many passes can the quarterback expect to throw before he completes a pass? c. Determine the probability that it takes more than 5 attempts before he completes a pass. d. What is the probability that he attempts more than 7 passes before he completes one?

Popper 07: Newsweek in 1989 reported that 60% of young children have blood lead levels that could impair their neurological development. Assuming a random sample from the population of all school children at risk, find: 1. The probability that at least 5 children out of 10 in a sample taken from a school may have a blood lead level that may impair development. 2. The probability you will need to test 10 children before finding a child with a blood lead level that may impair development (10th child his the first with impairment). 3. The probability you will need to test no more than 10 children before finding a child with a blood lead level that may impair development. 0.9998951 b. 0.0001572864 c. 0.98976 d. 0.8337614
