Suppose your weekly local lottery has a winning chance of 1/106. You buy lottery from them for x weeks in a row. What is the probability that you never win?

Answer:

The probability mass function  that you never win [tex]^xC_o[/tex] = [tex](\dfrac{999999}{1000000})^x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

the winning chance of a weekly local lottery = [tex]\dfrac{1}{10^6}[/tex]

= [tex]\dfrac{1}{1000000}[/tex]

The probability of losing = 1 - probability of winning (winning chance)

The probability of losing = [tex]1- \dfrac{1}{1000000}[/tex]

The probability of losing =[tex]\dfrac{999999}{1000000}[/tex]

The probability mass function  that you never win [tex]^xC_o[/tex] = [tex](\dfrac{1}{10^6} )^0 ( \dfrac{999999}{1000000})^x[/tex]

The probability mass function  that you never win [tex]^xC_o[/tex] = [tex](\dfrac{999999}{1000000})^x[/tex]
