She believes that for any particular call, the probability of obtaining the necessary information is 0.2. She decides to continue calling class members until the information is obtained. However, her cell phone is old, and her battery will not last for more than 12 calls. Let the random variable X be the number of calls needed to obtain the information. What is the probability that at least three calls are required
