Method Detail

### probability

    public double probability(double 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, or PMF for the distribution.

  Parameters:
    `x` - the value at which the probability mass function is evaluated.
  Returns:
    the value of the probability mass function at x
