Mike raises a good point. If one light goes out, and the others stay lit,
what's the probability *all* lights will go out?

Or, if one light fails and all fail, what's the probability that the lights
will stay lit throughout the season?

I think the book meant the first case, (all stay lit if one goes out), but
this is not very clear in the question statement.
