On the first try she has probability 0.2 of passing. If she
fails on the first try, her probability on the second try increases
to 0.3 because she learned something from her first attempt. If she
fails on two attempts, the probability of passing on a third
attempt is 0.4. She will stop as soon as she passes. The course
rules force her to stop after three attempts in any case.
