The correct answer is \(\frac{1}{100}\).
First, simplify the expression.
\((1-\frac{1}{2}) × (1 -\frac{1}{2}) × (1-\frac{1}{4} ) × … × (1-\frac{1}{100} ) =\) ?
\((\frac{1}{2} ) × ( \frac{2}{3}) × ( \frac{3}{4}) × … × ( \frac{99}{100}) =\)
Remove the same numbers from both numerator and denominator. For example, cancel out \(2, 3, 4,\) … from both numerator and denominator. You’ll get:\(\frac{1}{100}\)
