Arandom sample of n bike helmets manufactured by a certain company is selected. let x = the number among the n that are flawed, and let p = p(flawed). instead of selecting n = 20 helmets to examine, suppose i examine helmets in succession until i have found r = 3 flawed ones. if the 20th helmet is the third flawed one (so that the number of helmets examined that were not flawed is x = 17), what is the mle of p? (answer in terms of r for r and x for x as necessary.)
