Find $$$P{\left(X = 3 \right)}$$$ for geometric distribution with $$$n = 3$$$ and $$$p = 0.2$$$

The calculator will find the probability that $$$X = 3$$$ for the geometric distribution with $$$n = 3$$$ and $$$p = 0.2$$$.

There are two types of geometric distributions: either $$$X$$$ is the number of trials up to and including the first success, or $$$X$$$ is the number of trials (failures) until the first success.

Your Input

Calculate the various values for the geometric distribution with $$$n = 3$$$ and $$$p = 0.2 = \frac{1}{5}$$$ (don't include a success trial).

Answer

Mean: $$$\mu = \frac{1 - p}{p} = \frac{1 - \frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{5}} = 4$$$A.

Variance: $$$\sigma^{2} = \frac{1 - p}{p^{2}} = \frac{1 - \frac{1}{5}}{\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{2}} = 20$$$A.

Standard deviation: $$$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1 - p}{p^{2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1 - \frac{1}{5}}{\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{2}}} = 2 \sqrt{5}\approx 4.472135954999579.$$$A

$$$P{\left(X = 3 \right)} = 0.1024$$$A

$$$P{\left(X \lt 3 \right)} = 0.488$$$A

$$$P{\left(X \leq 3 \right)} = 0.5904$$$A

$$$P{\left(X \gt 3 \right)} = 0.4096$$$A

$$$P{\left(X \geq 3 \right)} = 0.512$$$A
