Question 636131: A random number is generated between 0 and 100 on one try.
To "win" the number must be 10 or below.
I can try multiple times.
Doesn't the probably increase the more times I "try"?
Can a formula be put to that?
Thanks!

------------
The probability is the same for each try.
0 to 100 is 101 elements.
0 to 10 is 11 elements.
--> 11/101 for each try.
---------------------------
If you try 2 times, the chance is 2x as much or getting 1 win, etc.
