=0.05

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{200}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 1000 tickets of a lottery were sold and there are 5 prizes on these tickets.

To Find: If Saket has purchased one lottery ticket, what is the probability of winning a prize

Solution:

No. of prize tickets = 5

Total number of tickets = 1000

Now probability of getting prize ticket on 1 draw = $\frac{\text{No. of prize tickets}}{\text{Total No. of tickets}}$

                                                                                = $\frac{5}{1000}$

                                                                                = $\frac{1}{200}$

Hence the probability of winning a prize is $\frac{1}{200}$
