An experiment succeeds thrice as after it fails
if experiment is repeated 5 times what is the probability of having no success at all?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If I understand this message correctly, it tries to tell that in this binomial experiment the probability of success is 3/4.


If my guessing is correct, then the probability under the problem's question is

    P = %281-3%2F4%29%5E5 = %281%2F4%29%5E5 = 1%2F4%5E5 = 1%2F1024.    ANSWER

Solved.
