Salinity in Quebec river is a combination of tides and rain. Rain that diluted the salt occurs about 10% of the time, while the non salty outgoing tides occurs twice per day. You take your dog for a walk down by the river at random during the weekend and notice that he'll drink from the river 30% of the time when the salt is sufficiently low. someone points out that the saltiness doesn't depend on the local rain but on the rain upriver. Assume that at any time it is possible to have 3 independent rainstorms upriver , all with the same 10% probability of occurrence that you see at the city. What is the probability of no rain upriver ? Of 1 rain ? Of more than one ?

please tell which probability formula you use
It is given that n = 3 and p = 0.10.
