Negative Binomial Distribution Consider an experiment with similar properties as those of binomial experiment, with an exception that trial are to be continued till desired number of success occurs. We are interested in the probability of kth success occurs in xth trial. Experiments of this kind are called negative binomial experiments. The number ܺ of trials to produce ݇ success in a negative binomial experiment is called negative binomial random variable and its probability distribution is called Negative Binomial Distribution Denoted by symbol ܤሺݔ ;݇, ሻ . Now kth Success is to occur at xth trial, that means ሺ݇ െ 1ሻ success are to occur in ሺݔ െ 1ሻ trials.
