You are about to start playing matches of a video game, but you cannot play all night because you must study for your exam tomorrow. Suppose the probability of winning each match with probability 0.8 and the outcome of each match is independent. You tell yourself that you will stop playing and start studying after losing 3 matches. What is the probability that you play at most 10 matches?
