A scientist inoculates several mice, one at a time, with a disease germ until he finds 3 mice that have attacked by the disease. If the probability of getting attack of the disease is 1/5, what is the probability that 10 mice are required
Apply the Negative Binomial distribution.
Let be the sample size of the sample until we get successes. The probability of contracting the disease is . The form of the Negative Binomial distribution we apply is given as,
.Therefore,
