what is the probability of not winning the game?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Probability : 

Probability is a field of mathematics that gives us the language and tools to quantify the uncertainty of events and reason in a principled manner.

It is a way of measuring the chance of something happening.    

An event is any occurrence that has a probability attached to it . In other words, an event is any outcome where you can say how likely it is to occur.   

  • Probability is measured on a scale of 0 to 1.
  • If an event is impossible, it has a probability of 0. If it’s an absolute certainty, then the probability is 1.
