In a lottery, there are 8 prizes and 16 blanks. What is the probability of getting a prize?

Answer»

Total number of tickets in the lottery = 8 + 16 = 24. 

Total number of prizes in the lottery = 8. 

Probability of getting a prize = \(\cfrac{Total\, number \, of \, prizes}{Total\,numbers\, of\, tickets}\)

\(\frac{8}{24} = \frac{1}{3}\).

Hence, the probability of getting a prize is \(\frac{1}{3}\).
