You are going to play a game where you bet a dollar and get to flip a coin ten times. If you get four heads in a row, you win. If you make the tenth flip without getting four heads in a row, you lose. Run this game ten thousand times. Approximately what is the probability that you will win?

I can't give you the direct answer, but I will however tell you how to solve it. You take the probability that you will get 4/10 coin flips as 4 heads in a row. Then you multiply the denominator and the numerator by ten thousand. Then, you can simplify it correctly.
