Simulating from the geometric distribution
In this exercise you'll compare your replications with the output of rgeom().
This exercise is part of the course
Foundations of Probability in R
Exercise instructions
- Use the function
rgeom()to simulate 100,000 draws from a geometric distributions with probability .2. Save this asgeom_sample. - Compare
replicationsandgeom_samplewith thecompare_histograms()function.
Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
# Replications from the last exercise
replications <- replicate(100000, which(rbinom(100, 1, .2) == 1)[1])
# Generate 100,000 draws from the corresponding geometric distribution
geom_sample <- rgeom(___)
# Compare the two distributions with compare_histograms
