### Calibration Probability Query

**Question:**
The probability is 0.8 that a calibration of a transducer in an electronic instrument conforms to specifications for the measurement system. Assume that calibration attempts are independent. What is the probability that at most three calibration attempts are required to meet the specifications for the measurement system?

---

*Note: This problem involves the use of geometric distribution to determine the required probability. The geometric distribution models the number of trials needed for the first success in a sequence of Bernoulli trials. To find the probability that at most three calibration attempts are needed, we calculate the probability for one, two, and three attempts and then sum these probabilities.*
