Each day, John performs the following experiment. He flips a fair coin repeatedly until he gets a 'T' and counts the number of coin flips needed. (a) Approximate the probability that in a (non-leap) year there are at least 2 days when he needed strictly more than 10 coin flips. (b) Approximate the probability that in a year there are strictly more than 53 days when he needed exactly 3 coin flips.
