John has three chances of throwing and hitting the target to win the prize. One hit wins john the prize. What is the probability of john not winning if any given throw has a 90% chance of hitting the target
The probability of John not winning on a single throw is 10% or 0.1.
Therefore, the probability of John not winning on all three throws is 0.1 * 0.1 * 0.1 = 0.001 or 0.1%.
So, the probability of John not winning is 0.1%.
