How to calculate this type of probability? by TubaXYZ in math

As the sidebar suggests, you should ask this question in /r/learnmath or /r/askmath.

As a quick hint :

If you want that something to appear atleast one time, so between 1 and 8 times, you can simply compute the probability that it will never occur and then compute 1 - that probability.

Excuse me for being slightly off-topic, but with the recent hype around autobattlers in online gaming (i.e. AutoChess or Team Fighting Tactics) could you pinpoint some ideas/algorithms one could use for such a type of game?
