Geometric Distribution
• A discrete probability distribution of a random variable x that satisfies the following conditions:
1. A trial is repeated until a success occurs
2. The repeated trials are independent of each other
3. The probability of success p is constant

Poisson Distribution
• A discrete probability distribution of a random variable x that satisfies the following conditions:
1. The experiment consists of counting the number of times, x, an event occurs in a given interval. The interval can be an interval of time, area, or volume

Poisson Distribution Cont.
2. The probability of the event occurring is the same for each interval
3. The number of occurrences in one interval is independent of the number of occurrences in other intervals.
