So how do I calculate this?

So let's say I have a base 80% success rate. But I mine and fail 7 times, and succeed 3.

How can I calculate the odds of that happening? There must be a formula or something.

Thanks.

Sorry, I'm really not so good at math.
If you have an 80% chance, you have a 20% miss, you can have a 99% chance, you can also miss and even at 99.99... % too, by the way.
At each move, a dice of 100 is rolled, like in Paper Role Playing.

It's no more complicated than that.

Just like crafting, if you have 99% to make a HQ, you can very well fail and have a NM. But you still have a better chance to succeed.

It's not about math, it's about percentage luck.
