The geometric distribution gives the probability that the first occurrence of success requires k independent trials, each with success probability p.
Thus since the dealer wants to find the probability for a player to be dealt two pairs in the first hand, and the probability that you will have a hand with two pairs is about 24% , we have
p = 0.24 and k = 1
Since probability of 1 occurrence is required we do not need cumulative probability
Hence, Answer is
Option 2
A geometric probability density function should be used because the question asks for the probability for a player to be dealt two pairs in the first hand.
