A local public-action group solicits donations by telephone. For a particular list of prospects, it was estimated that for any individual the probability was 0.05 of an immediate donation by credit card, 0.29 of no immediate donation but a request for further information through the mail, and 0.66 of no expression of interest. Information is mailed to all people requesting it, and it is estimated that 30% of these people will eventually donate. An operator makes a sequence of calls, the outcomes of which can be assumed to be independent. What is the probability that the first call leading to any donation (either immediately or eventually after a mailing) is preceded by at least five calls that never lead to a donation? (Round to three decimal places as needed)
