What is this probability distribution where the failure probability is $p$ and is repeated $n$ times?

45 Views Asked by At

In a trial, the probability of failure is $p$. If the trial is repeated $n$ times, the probability of failure is $p^n$. That is, if the trial is performed 2 times, the probability of failure is $p^2$; if performed 3 times the probability of failure is $p^3$.

I want to know, what is the probability distribution of the trials?

Edit: Well, I have two questions in mind.

  1. What is the probability that there is a failure after $n$ trials? The answer is:

$1-(1-p)^n$

  1. What is the probability that there is a success after $n$ trials? The answer is:

$1-p^n$

What are these distributions?
