1998 tickets out of 2000 tickets do not have a prize. If a person randomly selects one ticket from 2000 tickets, then what is the probability that the ticket selected is eligible for prize ?

Answer»

Total number of tickets = 2000

No. of tickets do not have a prize = 1998

No. of tickets eligible for prize = 2000 – 1998
= 2

Total number of outcomes of selecting a ticket is n = 2000c1 = 2000

A = Event that the selected ticket is eligible for prize

∴ m = 2c1 = 2

∴ P(A) = \(\frac{m}{n}\)

=\(\frac{ 2}{2000}\)

\(\frac{1}{1000}\)
