I'm not quite sure how to frame this question/thought of mine, as I'm not a math/physics student, but here goes: say you're in a game of Russian Roulette where the probability in each round of getting killed is 1/6. I need to show that, with more rounds that occur, the probability of getting killed will correspondingly increase (despite the fact that the 1/6 chance of getting killed in each round will remain constant). So for example, the probability of getting killed after 3 rounds is less than the probability of getting killed after 9 rounds.
Does anyone know how to show the formula for such a thought experiment?
