                                                                                  Introduction


                     The last chapter explained the concepts of the binomial distribution. There
                     are many other types of commonly used discrete distributions. A few are the
                     multinomial distribution, the hypergeometric distribution, the Poisson
                     distribution, and the geometric distribution. This chapter briefly explains
                     the basic concepts of these distributions.
