determining odds question

[JLC]

Let's say you have a 25% chance per egg of hatching a BEL. You also have, in each egg, a 75% chance of NOT hatching a BEL.

With two eggs, it's .75 x .75 = .56 Which is a 56% chance you won't hatch a BEL.

With four eggs it's .75 x .75 x .75 x .75 ..... Which is a 32% chance you won't hatch a BEL. (68% chance you WILL hatch a BEL)

Eight eggs would be a 10% chance of missing the BEL...or a 90% chance of hatching at least one.

Hope that answered your question.
