NEGATIVE BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION:

E(X) = S/P
V(X) =S (1-P) P2

P(X=x) = (x-1 s-1) PS(1-P)(X-S)

GEOMETRIC DISTRIBUTION
The no of desired success can be any number. But in some situations the number
of success is desired is just one. Ex passing CAT with good scores. If x is a
random number of bernouli trials each having p probability required to achieve
one success then its said that it follows geometric distribution

E(X) = 1/P
V(X) = (1-P)/P2
P(X=x) = P(1-P)X-1

HYPOGEOMETRIC DISTRIBUTION
E(x) = np
V(X) = np(1-p) [ N-n/N-1]
P(X=x) = (S/x) (N-S/ n-x)
--------------------(N n)

Poisson distribution
Infinite trials
Rare event that is probability is low
Counting the number f times a rare event occurs during a fixed interval is called
poisson distribution
E(x)= np= mew
V(x)= np=mew

P(X=x) = e to the power mew. Mew to the power x whole divided by x


factorial

UNIFORM Disrtibution
Simplest of continuous distribution. Because of the shape of uniform distribution
is always rectangle, the skewness and kurtosis are same for all distribution. The
skewness is zero because the shape is flat and kurtosis is negative always equal
to -1.2

F(x) = 1/(b-a)
P(x1<X<x2) = (x2-x1)/ (b-a)
E(x) = (a+b)/2
V(x)= (b-a)2/12

Exponential distribution
Suppose event happens with lamda occurrence per hour and this average freq is
constant in tht the prob that the event would occur at any given time is lambda
t. supse we arrve at the scene at any given time and wait till the event occurs.
The waiting till would follow Exponential distribution which is continuous limit of
g. d
F(x)= lambda e-lambda x

E(x)= 1/lambda
V(x)= 1/lambda2
