perplexus.info :: Probability : Spider and Fly #2

Spider and Fly #2 (Posted on 2024-10-31)

A spider eats N flies a day. Until the fly fills his quota, a fly has 45% chance of survival if he attempts to pass a web.

Assume the M flies (M>N) have already made the attempt to pass. What is the probability that the (M+1)st fly will survive the attempt?
