Paul's adventure to the Volcano

Paul, a very daring guy, decides to go to a volcano.

He needs to decide between 10 10 volcanos. The first one has a probability of 1 2 \frac{1}{2} of erupting. (While Paul is there) The second one's probability of erupting is 1 4 \frac{1}{4} . Each following volcano's probability of erupting is 1 2 \frac{1}{2} of the previous one. (So the next one would be 1 8 \frac{1}{8} ). If Paul decides randomly which volcano he wants to go to, what is the probability that the volcano erupts while he is there? Express your answer has a decimal to the nearest thousandth.
