$1/$20 Experiment

The 1/20 Experiment illustrates the concept of probability by showing that if an event has a 1 in 20 chance of happening (like winning a small prize), it’s unlikely to occur on a single try. Over many trials, however, such an event will happen roughly once in every 20 attempts. This helps us understand how unlikely events are distributed over time, emphasizing that while success is rare in any individual case, it becomes more predictable across many attempts. It’s a useful way to visualize the nature of chance and probability in everyday situations.
