r:geom
Understanding R's Definition In R,
the syntax for the geometric cumulative distribution function is
pgeom(q, prob, lower.tail = TRUE)- q : The number of failures before the first success occurs.
- prob : The probability of success in a single trial $(p)$.
- lower.tail = TRUE (default) : Calculates the probability of experiencing q or fewer failures before the first success, i.e., P(X <_ q) where X is the number of failures.
- This means: Success on the 1st trial = 0 failures (q=0)
- Success on the 2nd trial = 1 failure (q=1)
- Success on the 3rd trial = 2 failures (q=2)
