  - ### Method Detail

    - #### probability

          public double probability(int x)

      For a random variable `X` whose values are distributed according to this distribution, this method returns `P(X = x)`. In other words, this method represents the probability mass function (PMF) for the distribution.
      Parameters:
        `x` - the point at which the PMF is evaluated
      Returns:
        the value of the probability mass function at `x`

    - #### cumulativeProbability

          public double cumulativeProbability(int x)

      For a random variable `X` whose values are distributed according to this distribution, this method returns `P(X <= x)`. In other words, this method represents the (cumulative) distribution function (CDF) for this distribution.
      Parameters:
        `x` - the point at which the CDF is evaluated
      Returns:
        the probability that a random variable with this distribution takes a value less than or equal to `x`

    - #### getNumericalMean

          public double getNumericalMean()

      Use this method to get the numerical value of the mean of this distribution.
      Returns:
        `sum(singletons[i] * probabilities[i])`

    - #### getNumericalVariance

          public double getNumericalVariance()

      Use this method to get the numerical value of the variance of this distribution.
      Returns:
        `sum((singletons[i] - mean) ^ 2 * probabilities[i])`

    - #### getSupportLowerBound

          public int getSupportLowerBound()

      Access the lower bound of the support. This method must return the same value as `inverseCumulativeProbability(0)`. In other words, this method must return

      `inf {x in Z | P(X <= x) > 0}`.

      Returns the lowest value with non-zero probability.
      Returns:
        the lowest value with non-zero probability.

    - #### getSupportUpperBound

          public int getSupportUpperBound()

      Access the upper bound of the support. This method must return the same value as `inverseCumulativeProbability(1)`. In other words, this method must return

      `inf {x in R | P(X <= x) = 1}`.

      Returns the highest value with non-zero probability.
      Returns:
        the highest value with non-zero probability.

    - #### isSupportConnected

          public boolean isSupportConnected()

      Use this method to get information about whether the support is connected, i.e. whether all integers between the lower and upper bound of the support are included in the support. The support of this distribution is connected.
      Returns:
        `true`

    - #### sample

          public int sample()

      Generate a random value sampled from this distribution. The default implementation uses the inversion method.
      Specified by:
        `sample` in interface `IntegerDistribution`
      Overrides:
        `sample` in class `AbstractIntegerDistribution`
      Returns:
        a random value
