Question

The probability distribution for a game is shown in the table below.

what is the probability of NOT winning a cash prize if the game is played on time?

A) 7/10
B) 1/5
C) 4/5
D) 3/10

Answer 1

Given:

It is given that

Probability of winning $ 0 =
`(3)/(10)`

Probability of winning $ 100 =
`(1)/(5)`

Probability of winning $ 200 =
`(1)/(10)`

Probability of winning $ 500 =
`(2)/(5)`

To find the probability of not winning a cash prize.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not winning cash prize = winning $ 0

So,

Probability of not winning a cash prize

= Probability of winning $ 0

=
`(3)/(10)`

Therefore,

The probability of not winning a cash prize is
`(3)/(10)`. Option D.
