If the probability of success during the 4th event of a geometric experiment is 0.0384, which of these could be the probability of success during the 5th event of the geometric experiment?

Question

anonymous · Answer

The probability of a success on the 4th event of whatever it is we're talking about here is (due to the geometric nature of the experiment)
$$p(1-p)^{4-1}=0.0384$$
where $p$ denotes the probability of success.

You're asked to find $p(1-p)^{5-1}$. Solve for $p$ in the first equation, then evaluate the expression for this $p$.
