An oil prospector will drill a succession of holes in a given area to find a productive well. the probability that he is successful on a given trial is .2. a what is the probability that the third hole drilled is the first to yield a productive well

0.128 is the probability that the third hole drilled is the first to yield a productive well.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The probability that he is successful on a given trial is 0.2    

p = 0.2

q = 1 - p = 0.8

We define the geometric probability as:

For this we have x = 3, putting the values we have:

0.128 is the probability that the third hole drilled is the first to yield a productive well.
