85% of tax returns have computational errors. This means that if we randomly select a tax return, there is a probability of 0.85 that the tax return will have at least one computational error. Whether one tax return has a computational error is independent whether any other tax return has a computational error. John Jay, a new tax return auditor randomly selects tax returns for aud one after another. Let X the number of tax returns selected until he selects the 1st return with computational errors. Let Y the number of tax returns selected until he selects the 2nd return with computational errors. What is the probability that the 1st 3 tax returns selected have computational errors? What in tho oxnoctod ualuo of Y?
