Discrete Distributions Name Density Geometric: FX X 1,2, 3,... Pe P Q P X

This document summarizes several discrete probability distributions: 1) It lists several common discrete distributions like geometric, uniform, binomial, Bernoulli, hypergeometric, negative binomial, Poisson, and Poisson approximation to binomial and provides their probability mass functions, expected values, and variances. 2) The distributions covered include geometric, uniform, binomial, Bernoulli, hypergeometric, negative binomial, Poisson, and an approximation of binomial using Poisson. 3) For each distribution, the table provides the probability mass function, expected value/mean, and variance, which are the key metrics to characterize discrete distributions.
