10. Consider an e-mail message being transmitted across a single network link. The e-mail is broken up in K packets, each of which is transmitted individually across the link. The probability that a transmission fails is p; in the case of a failed transmission, the packet is retransmitted. If p = 0.04, find the probability that the packet is successfully after no more than two tries.
