Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

p = 0.10 corresponds to a 10% chance of occurrence, so that that means in this case is that you would expect the event to occur about one time in every ten trials over the long run

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

p = 1 means 100 out of 100 or 100% so .1 means a) one time in every 10 or 1/10.
