Draw samples from the geometric distribution.
Bernoulli trials are experiments with one of two outcomes: success or failure (an example of such an experiment is flipping a coin). The geometric distribution models the number of trials that must be run in order to achieve success. It is therefore supported on the positive integers,
k = 1, 2, ...
.The probability mass function of the geometric distribution is
\[f(k) = (1 - p)^{k - 1} p\]where p is the probability of success of an individual trial.
Note
New code should use the ~numpy.random.Generator.geometric method of a ~numpy.random.Generator instance instead; please see the random-quick-start.
- Parameters
p (float or array_like of floats) – The probability of success of an individual trial.
size (int or tuple of ints, optional) – Output shape. If the given shape is, e.g.,
(m, n, k)
, thenm * n * k
samples are drawn. If size isNone
(default), a single value is returned ifp
is a scalar. Otherwise,np.array(p).size
samples are drawn.
- Returns
out – Drawn samples from the parameterized geometric distribution.
- Return type
ndarray or scalar

which should be used for new code.
Examples
Draw ten thousand values from the geometric distribution, with the probability of an individual success equal to 0.35:
>>> z = np.random.geometric(p=0.35, size=10000)
How many trials succeeded after a single run?
>>> (z == 1).sum() / 10000. 0.34889999999999999 #random
