    For n = 1 million, X n is roughly 0.9999, but for n = 10 billion X n is roughly 0.53 and for n = 100 billion it is roughly 0.0017. As n approaches infinity, the probability X n approaches zero; that is, by making n large enough, X n can be made as small as is desired, [ 3 ] and the chance of typing banana approaches 100%.
