same question as the last one really.
Come on guess and say why you guessed that.

obviously it is P(not 1) = 10% because that implies that 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 have 10% chance against 1. so each number that is not 1 will have less than 1% of a chance to beat 1.

or just nine out of ten of your slots are not one so the chances of hitting any one of them is certainly not 0.1

I just broke it down for Jamar because this is a rather simple question, so I didn't know if he needed extra help on this or if he was just being lazy and not doing his homework.
