A car dealer is trying to sell five used cars. She attempts to sell a car to each customer that walks in. Suppose that only 7% of all the potential customers are willing and able to purchase a car, and assume that each customer acts independently of one another. Let X denote the number of customers that walk in before all five cars are sold. What is the distribution of X? What is the probability that the last car is sold to the 100th customer?
