The probability of a given event is 1/x . If the experiment is repeated n times, what is the probability that the event does not occur in any of the trials?

Question

parthkohli · Answer

The probability that an event WON'T occur is 1 - the probability that the event will occur.

parthkohli · Answer

$ \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large {(1 - {1 \over x})} }$
This is the probability that the event won't occur once.

parthkohli · Answer

Now we'd multiply this thing n times, so we'll raise it to the power n.

so what would it be????

parthkohli · Answer

$ \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large {(1 - {1 \over x})^n}}$

Did you get that?
