The probability that Alex will solve a problem is 1/5. What is the probability that he solves at least one problem out of 4 problems?

64/125
256/625
64/625
369/625
Explanation:

The probability that Alex will not solve a problem = 4/5.
The probability that Alex will not solve 10 problems = (4/5)4 = 256/625.
Hence, the probability that Alex will solve at least one problem = 1 - 256/625
= 369/625.
