A negative_­binomial_­distribution random number distribution produces random integers distributed according to the discrete probability function
[Note 1:
This implies that is undefined when p == 1.

Preconditions: and .
Remarks: k and p correspond to the respective parameters of the distribution.
IntType k() const;
Returns: The value of the k parameter with which the object was constructed.
double p() const;
Returns: The value of the p parameter with which the object was constructed.
