Default Re: Probability question

[ QUOTE ]
lets say you have a 1% chance of winning a game. You play the game 100 times. What are the odds that you will win the game at least once?

[/ QUOTE ]

Assuming independent trials, this is

1-P(losing 100 times in a row)=
1-(.99)^100= .634
or odds of 0.577:1.

You can do the 2nd question the same way.
