4 possible outcomes.
1: Success, 2:Success, P=0.84(0.84)=0.7056
1:Success, 2: Failure, P=0.84(0.16)=0.1344
1:Failure, 2:Success, P=0.16(0.84)=0.1344
1:Failure, 2:Failure, P=0.16(0.16)=0.0256
At least one success would be the total of the first three,
P(at least 1 success)=0.7056+0.1344+0.1344=0.9744
