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 65 65% chance of hitting the target?
The probability of hitting the target on any given throw is 65%, so the probability of not hitting the target on any given throw is 35%.
To find the probability of John not winning the prize in all three throws, we multiply the probability of not hitting the target in each throw:
0.35 * 0.35 * 0.35 = 0.042875
Therefore, the probability of John not winning the prize in all three throws is approximately 4.29%.
