Day 4: Geometric Distribution I HackerRank Solution

Day 4: Geometric Distribution I HackerRank Solution
Source : https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/s10-geometric-distribution-1

Objective
In this challenge, we learn about geometric distributions. Check out the Tutorial tab for learning materials!

Task
The probability that a machine produces a defective product is . What is the probability that the defect is found during the inspection?

Input Format

The first line contains the respective space-separated numerator and denominator for the probability of a defect, and the second line contains the inspection we want the probability of being the first defect for:

1 35

If you do not wish to read this information from stdin, you can hard-code it into your program.

Output Format

Print a single line denoting the answer, rounded to a scale of decimal places (i.e., format).
