In a lottery, there are 10 prizes and 25 blanks. What is the probability of getting a prize? |
|
Answer» Number of prizes = 10 And number of blanks = 25. Total numbers of tickets in the lottery = 10 + 25 = 35. ∴ Probability of getting a prize = \(\frac{Number\,of\,prizes}{Total\,number\,of\,tickets}\) = \(\frac{10}{35}=\frac{2}{7}.\) Hence, the probability of getting a prize is \(\frac{2}{7}.\) |
