Suppose that there is a gambling game, where there is a 60% probability that you will lose $1, and a 40% probability that you will gain $1. Suppose that you play the game 100 times, and each time you play is independent of any other time.

(c) Find the probability that the total amount you go home with is less that -$5 (you have a net loss of $5).
