Two- and three-body correlation functions (number of pairs or triplets vs. relative angular momentum) of electrons or Laughlin quasielectrons (i.e., composite fermions in their first excited Landau level) are studied numerically in several fractional quantum Hall liquids. It is shown directly that theν_e=4/11 liquid (corresponding to aν=1/3 filling of composite fermions in their first excited Landau level) is a paired state of quasielectrons, hence interpreted as a condensate of "second-generation" quasiholes of Moore-Readν=1/2 state of composite fermions.
