Geometric Random Variables

The difference is that for a geometric random variable, we’re looking at how many trials we have to use until we get a certain success. For a binomial random variable, we decided ahead of time on a certain number of trials. But for a geometric random variable, we’ll run an infinite number of trials until we get a success. Most of the conditions we put on the binomial random variable still apply to the geometric random variable: each trial must be independent, each trial can be called a "success" or "failure," and the probability of success on each trial is constant.
