Geometric distribution, an Uncommon card
In probability theory and statistics, the geometric distribution is either one of two discrete probability distributions: The probability distribution of the number X of Bernoulli trials needed to get one success, supported on N = { 1, 2, 3, … }, The probability distribution of the number Y = X − 1 of failures before…

Three questions on the Geometric distribution card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
These two different geometric ______ should not be confused with each other.
Answer
distributions. These two different geometric distributions should not be confused with each other. From the Geometric distribution article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Linear algebra. Linear algebra 80 · Geometric distribution 72 · Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year 69 · Quintuplet Cluster 66 ATK in WikiCards.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Geometric distribution. Geometric distribution 200,000 · Cardinal virtues 150,000 · Quintuplet Cluster 3,800 · Edward L. Bowles 870 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- These two different geometric distributions should not be confused with each other.
- Often, the name shifted geometric distribution is adopted for the former one, however, to avoid ambiguity, it is considered wise to indicate which is intended, by mentioning the support explicitly.
- The geometric distribution gives the probability that the first occurrence of success requires k independent trials, each with success probability p.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Geometric distribution article was read about 200,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 59: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
How to get Geometric distribution
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
