how many trials do you need to get r successes.

\begin{equation} P(X=n) = {{n-1} \choose {r-1}} p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} \end{equation}

if the chance of individual success is \(p\), what’s the probability that it takes \(n\) trials to get \(r\) successes.

\begin{equation} \mathbb{E}[x] = \frac{r}{p} \end{equation}

\begin{equation} Var[x] = r \frac{{1-p}}{r^{2}} \end{equation}
