Much easier to calculate P(n failures) for small n. It's also important to calculate SD, variance and expectation for n trials. Basic statistical assumptions apply.
And generally a more rigorous discussion would be better for this topic. I really wonder how many people don't know what probability is, or how many people's (un)common sense fails them.
Oh, with WolframAlpha and Mathematica and Excel, I don't ever need a calculator anymore.
