Question
**Problem 6.6:**

A bin of 5 transistors is known to contain 2 that are defective. The transistors are to be tested, one at a time, until the defective ones are identified. Denote by \(N_1\) the number of tests made until the first defective is identified and by \(N_2\) the number of additional tests until the second defective is identified. Find the joint probability mass function of \(N_1\) and \(N_2\).
