This is in a game so I will simplify it:
There is a temple. In the temple, there are 6 monsters. Each monster has a 10% chance to drop a rose (It can drop or 0 or 1).
So, the chance that no one will drop a rose is 53.1% (because 0.9^6)
The chance that one monster will drop the rose is 5.9% (because 0.1*0.9^5)
The chance that 2 monsters will drop the rose is 0.6% (because 0.1^2*0.9^4)
The chance that 3 monsters will drop the rose is 0.0729% (because 0.1^3*0.9^3)
The chance that 4 monsters will drop the rose is 0.0081% (because 0.1^4*0.9^2)
The chance that 5 monsters will drop the rose is 0.0009% (because 0.1^5*0.9)
The chance that 6 monsters will drop the rose is 0.0001% (because 0.1^6)
So theoretically, the sum of all these odds should be 100% because there is a 100% that some of these events will happen.
But their sum is only 59.7%.
40.3% just gone for some reason.
Why? What I did wrong in my calculations?
