This document discusses the hypergeometric and geometric distributions. The hypergeometric distribution describes the number of successes in a sample without replacement from a finite population that contains a specified number of successes. The geometric distribution describes the number of trials needed for the first success in a Bernoulli process where the probability of success is the same for each trial. It also discusses how the geometric distribution can model the number of failures before the first success.
