A microbiologist wants to better understand how a new vaccine can help patients develop immunity against an infectious disease. For this, s/he needs 3 patients who have successfully developed immunity with the help of the new vaccine and therefore starts vaccinating a group of voluntary patients one-by-one until s/he reaches the required 3 immune patients. It is found that there is 1/3 probability that a vaccinated patient will develop immunity. The probability that the microbiologist will need to vaccinate 8 voluntary patients is (Round to four decimal places, including any zeros.)
