Final answer:

The probability of not winning is 0.9 or 90% if the probability of winning is given as 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of not winning is calculated by subtracting the probability of winning from 1.

Given that the probability of winning the prize is 0.1, we use the formula:

Probability of not winning = 1 - Probability of winning

Here:

  • Probability of not winning = 1 - 0.1
  • Probability of not winning = 0.9 or 90%

So, if the probability of winning is 0.1,

the probability of not winning the prize is 0.9.
