You can put this solution on YOUR website! the probability that a network will be shut down on any given day is .0003. What is the probability that the network will be shut down in 5000 days.
-----
P(down >= 1 in 5000 days) = 1 - P(up for 5000 days)
---
= 1 - 0.9997^5000
---
= 1 - 0.2231
---
= 0.7769
