an instant lottery game gives you probability .02 of winning on any one play. Plays are indpendent of each other. If you play 5 times, what is the probability that you win at least once.

To determine "either-or" probabilities, you add the probabilities of the individual events. Since the probabilities of each event are the same, you could multiply by 5.

For either-or probability, you add the probabilities of the individual events. Since all the probabilities are the same, you can just multiply the probaiblity by 5.
