Negative Binomial experiment is based on sequences of Bernoulli trials with probability of success p. Let x+m be the number of trials to achieve m successes, and then x has a negative binomial distribution. In summary, negative binomial distribution has the following properties

Each trial can result in just two possible outcomes. One is called a success and the other is called a failure.
The trials are independent
The probability of success, denoted by p, is the same on every trial.
The experiment consists of m successes, and x+m repeated trials, and the m^th success occurs at the (x+m)^th trial.

Write down the probability distribution P(x=k), consistent with the notation here

Anne is selling girl scot cookies in her neighborhood with 20 houses. She has a target to sell 10 boxes. Suppose each house has a probability 0.6 to buy one box of her cookies. What is the probability that she sells the last box at the 15^th house? What is the probability that she exhausts all 20 houses?

We have a binomial experiment with n = 18 trials, each with probability p = 0.15 of a success. A success occurs if a student withdraws from a class, so the number of successes, x, will take on the values 0, 1, and 2. The probability of each x value, denoted f(x), can be found using a table like the one below. Note that these values are rounded to four decimal places. n x p 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 18...
