What is probability of NOT winning if the chances of winning is 0.008 and you try 110 times?

Answer:

The chance of not winning on one attempt is

1 - 0.008 = 0.992

The chance of not winning over 110 attempts is therefore 0.992110, since you must fail every time.

0.992110 = 0.413 (to three decimal places).

(It follows that 0.587 is the chance of winning on at least one attempt.)
