Probability of not seeing any shooting star in 15 minutes is

=   1 – P( Seeing one shooting star )

=   1 – 0.2          =    0.8

Probability of not seeing any shooting star in the period of one hour

=   (0.8) ^ 4        =    0.4096

Probability of seeing at least one shooting star in the one hour

=   1 – P( Not seeing any star )

=   1 – 0.4096     =    0.5904
