     50 ## Usage
     51 
     52 ```javascript
     53 var median = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/geometric/median' );
     54 ```
     55 
     56 #### median( p )
     57 
     58 Returns the [median][median] of a [geometric][geometric-distribution] distribution with success probability `p`.
     59 
     60 ```javascript
     61 var v = median( 0.1 );
     62 // returns 6
     63 
     64 v = median( 0.5 );
     65 // returns 0
     66 ```
     67 
     68 If provided a success probability `p` outside of `[0,1]`, the function returns `NaN`.
     69 
     70 ```javascript
     71 var v = median( NaN );
     72 // returns NaN
     73 
     74 v = median( 1.5 );
     75 // returns NaN
     76 
     77 v = median( -1.0 );
     78 // returns NaN
     79 ```
