Chapter 5 - More discrete distributions and their relationships

• Geometric distribution
  • Mean, variance, memoryless property
  • dgeom(k, p), pgeom(k, p), and rgeom(n, p) with RStudio
• Negative binomial distribution
  • Mean and variance
  • dnbinom(k, r, p), pnbinom(k, r, p), and rnbinom(n, r, p) with RStudio
• Hypergeometric distribution
  • dhyper(k, r, N-r, n), phyper(k, r, N-r, n), and rhyper(k, r, N-r, n) with RStudio
  • Relationship with binomial distribution
• Summary of discrete distributions
