Components coming off an assembly line are either free of defects (s, for success) or defective (f, for failure). suppose that 60% of all such components are defect-free. components are independently selected and tested one by one. let y denote the number of components that must be tested until a defect-free component is obtained. what is the smallest possible y value, and what experimental outcome gives this y value? what is the second smallest y value, and what outcome gives rise to it?
