Question 851692: I know this problems represnets a geometric distribution, how would I rewrite the problem to make if a binomial distribution.
If rain falls randomly with a 20% chance of rain on any given day, what is the probability that we suffer a drought for 8 days and then it finally rains on the 9th day?

-------
P(nnnnnnnnr) = (0.8)^8*(0.2) = 0.0336
