Why is this distribution referred to as a geometric distribution?

The geometric distribution is:
Pr(X=k) = (1-p)k-1p for k = 1, 2 , 3 ...
A geometric series is a+ ar+ ar2, ... or ar+ ar2, ...
Now the sum of all probability values of k = Pr(X=1) + Pr(X = 2) + Pr(X = 3) ...
= p + p2+p3 ... is a geometric series with a = 1 and the value 1 subtracted from the series.

What kind of distribution is exponential distribution?
Exponential distribution is a function of probability theory and statistics. This kind of distribution deals with continuous probability distributions and is part of the continuous analogue of the geometric distribution in math.
What is the geometric term of pixel on a computer?
A three dimensional pixel is often referred to as a voxel.

Whose distribution belong exponential family?
Poisson distribution or geometric distribution
What are examples of Geometric distribution in real life?
The geometric distribution appears when you have repeated trials of a random variable with a constant probability of success. The random variable which is the count of the number of failures before the first success {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} has a geometric distribution.

The variance in geometric distribution?
Var(X) = (1-p)/p^2
When do you have a geometric distribution?
A geometric distribution comes from a binary probability which does not have a set number of trials. It seeks to determine how many trials must be conducted before success is achieved. For example, instead of saying, "If I shoot the ball 5 times, what is my probability of success," a geometric probability would question, "How many times will I have to shoot the ball before I make a basket?"

If a great many data values cluster to the left of a data distribution which then tails off to the right the distribution is referred to as?
It is a positively skewed distribution.
What is sampling distribution of a statistic called?
The parent probability distribution from which the statistic was calculated is referred to as f(x) and cumulative distribution function as F(x). The sampling distribution and cumulative distribution of a statistic is commonly referred to as g(y) and G(y) where Y is the random variable representing the statistic. There are numerous other notations.
What is functional distribution of income?
When the focus is on how the tax system changes the distribution of income among capitalists, laborers, and landlords. This is referred to as the functional distribution of income.
