Now, if yours truly buys a 6-pack of soda
My question below
what is the probability that I will win something, i.e., at least winning a single small prize?
----
Probability a single bottle will NOT win a prize:: 0.7
----
P(none of 6 will win a prize) = 0.7^6 = 0.12
-------
P(at least one of the 6 is a winner) = 1-0.12 = 0.88
