In Response To: OT - Statistics question (John McDonald)

Probability that first guess is wrong is 99/100; that second guess is wrong is 98/99; and so on to probability that 95th guess is wrong is 5/6.

Multiplying these guesses (with numerators and denominators cancelling) gives probability of 95 wrong guesses is 5/100.
