A vehicle with a particular defect in its emission control system is taken to a succession of randomly selected mechanics until
r = 15 of them have correctly diagnosed the problem. Suppose that this requires diagnoses by 20 different mechanics (so there were 5 incorrect diagnoses). Let p = P(correct diagnosis), so p is the proportion of all mechanics who would correctly diagnose the problem. What is the mle of p?
