Probability and statistics

The basketball player Steph Curry is a great free throw shooter. In fact, his shots are independent and all have probability 0.9 of being successful. Suppose he takes 8 shots in the next game. Let’s suppose Steph takes a series of foul shots. Name the distribution corresponding to the number of shots Steph requires until he hits one for the first time.
