Generating and plotting geometric distributions

In sports it is common for players to make multiple attempts to score points for themselves or their teams. Each single attempt can have two possible outcomes, scoring or not scoring. Those situations can be modeled with geometric distributions. With scipy.stats you can generate samples using the rvs() function for each distribution.

Consider the previous example of a basketball player who scores free throws with a probability of 0.3. Generate a sample, and plot it.

numpy has been imported for you with the standard alias np.
