    Question:

    Every day, Jorge buys a lottery ticket. Each ticket has a 0.16 probability of winning a prize. After six days, what is the probability that Jorge has won at least one prize? Round your answer to four decimal places.

    Answer:

    The probability that Jorge has won at least one prize after six days is

    P (at least 1 win) = 0.6487

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Every day, Jorge buys a lottery ticket which has a 0.16 chance of winning a prize.

    We want to find out the probability that Jorge has won at least one prize after six days.

    P (at least 1 win) = 1 - P (not winning for 6 days)

    We know that the probability of winning is 0.16 then the probability of not winning is

    P (not winning) = 1 - 0.16 = 0.84

    For 6 days,

    P (not winning for 6 days) = 0.84*0.84*0.84*0.84*0.84*0.84

    P (not winning for 6 days) = 0.84⁶

    P (not winning for 6 days) = 0.3513

    Finally,

    P (at least 1 win) = 1 - P (not winning for 6 days)

    P (at least 1 win) = 1 - 0.3513

    P (at least 1 win) = 0.6487
