I assume this is a simple problem to solve for someone who isn't as dumb as I am. Appreciate it if anyone could take the time.
What are the odds of an event with a 1/30 chance of failure failing to occur 6 times in a row? (For example, starting my car. If starting my car has a success rate of 29/30, what are the chances of it failing to ignite 6 times in succession?)
Is there a general method for solving this problem?
Ty in advance.
