It depends on how well you pack it, how good a condition it is in, and on how correctly you use it.
In practice, the probability is very low. About one in every 100,000 jumps in the US results in a fatality, a probability of about 0.00001, but that's not just due to parachute failure. One unconfirmed estimate is that one in a thousand (0.001) main chute deployments result in a malfunction, but it is true that very few of those result in a fatality, primarily because there is a reserve chute that is maintained and packed under different, more stringent, requirements.

What is the probability of failing 75 times on a 2 percent chance of success?
If the probability of succeeding is 2%, then the probability of failing is 98%. The probability, then, of failing 75 times is 98%75, which is 22%.
What is Hypothesis Testing of Beta Value?
Probability of failing to reject a false null hypothesis.
The probability that a given alternator will fail on a 1-hour flight is 02 What is the probability that both will fail?
Assuming the alternator's failures are unrelated, the probability of both failing is the product of the individual probability, or 0.022, or 0.0004. The duration of the flight does not matter.
What is the Probabilities of Beta Value?
In hypothesis testing, this is the probability of failing to reject a false null hypothesis.
What is the probability of 1 out of 2 failing?
Any time there are two options, heads or tails when you flip a coin for example, the probability is 1/2, that the result will be either one option, or the other. The expected result when the coin lands is a 1/2 probability that it will be heads, and a 1/2 probability that it will be tails. What "1 out of 2 failing" means is that for every two students that take an exam, for example, one of them will fail. Of course, it also means, that 1/2 will pass.

What is the probability of a missile guidance system with 7 fail-safe components with the probability of each failing being 2 assume the variable is binomial?
This question cannot be answered for two reasons.The questions states that "... the probability of each failing [is] 2 ...". That is not possible since probabilities can never be greater than 1.The question does not specify what even the probability is required for: the guidance system failing or not failing!
20 Lights wired in series. One fails they all fail. Each light has .02 probability of failing in 3 years. Lights fail independently of one another. What is the probability that string fails in 3 yrs?
P(one failing) = 0.02P(one not failing) = 1-0.02 = 0.98P(whole string NOT failing) = 0.9820P(whole string failing) = 1-P(whole string NOT failing) = 0.3324

If you want to knock a marble off the table with 60 percent success 30 out of 50 shots make it what is the probability of knocking a marble out if you take two shots?
Seems like the probability for a single shot is 0.6 So the probability of success with shot 1 is 0.6 and the probability of failing with the first and winning with the second is 0.4x0.6=0.24, same for the other way around, and the probability if winning both times is 0.6x0.6=0.36, and the probability of failing both times is 0.4x0.4=0.16, which is the same as (1-2x.24-.36) Multiply the probability by 100 to get percent.
The probability of the contractor failing to meet the requirements of the potential contract is considered to be what type of risk?
Technical risk.

A certain airplane has two independent alternators to provide electrical power The probability?
Two alternators are used as a safety measure. The probability of both alternator failing are very minimal. Many planes use redundant systems.
What is a small parachute called?
a small parachute, is a small parachute, ther is no technical name for it. :) a small parachute is called a drogue
What causes a parachute to slow down?
A parachute... •_•
