When to use a Geometric probability : The geometric probability asks the question, "Given the chance that each trial being successful is the same, what is the probability that the first success happens on a the Yth trial." This can be referred to as a russian roulette type of question. If a revolver holds one bullet out of six chambers the chance for each trial is the same. The probability answers the percentage that bullet will go off in each successive round given all the previous rounds were unsuccesful. This can be seen as the simple multiplication rule of probability, for example, P(Y=3) = chance of failure * chance of failure * chance of success = 5/6 * 5/6 * 1/6 = 25/216 or about 2%
