Answer:
The probability of not winning the game is [tex]\frac{999}{1000}=0.999[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of winning a game =[tex]\frac{1}{1000}[/tex]
We are supposed to find the probability of not winning the game
Property : Sum of all probabilities is 1
So, let the probability of not winning the game be x
So, [tex]\frac{1}{1000}+x=1[/tex]
[tex]x=1-\frac{1}{1000}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{999}{1000}[/tex]
So,the probability of not winning the game = [tex]\frac{999}{1000}=0.999[/tex]
Hence the probability of not winning the game is [tex]\frac{999}{1000}=0.999[/tex]
