Why are there two different versions of the mean and variance for negative
binomial distributions
On a wiki proof site, I've seen these formulas used for the mean and
variance:
$E[X] = \frac{rp}{1-p}$ and $Var[X] = \frac{rp}{(1-p)^2}$. Yet on the Penn
State site, they have these two different formulas: $E[X] = \frac{r}{p}$
and $Var[X] = \frac{r(1-p)}{p^2}$.
