- A handful of important probability distribution describe many of the discrete random variables encountered in practice.
- Binomial distribution: test the effectiveness of a new drug.
- Hypergeometric distribution: test the number of defective items from a batch of production.
- Negative binomial distribution (Geometric distribution): the number of trial on which the first success occurs.
- Poisson distribution: the number of outcomes occurring during a given time interval or in a specified region.
