The probability of him getting at least one prize is 1 - ⁹⁹⁰C₅/ ¹⁰⁰⁰C₅
Given
- The man purchases 10 of 1000 tickets
- To determine the five prize winners, five tickets are to be drawn at random and without replacement.
To Find
The probability that this person will win at least one prize
Solution
Probability of any event = no. of outcomes for the particular event/Total no. of outcomes
The number of ways to select the 5 prize winners = ¹⁰⁰⁰C₅
The man bought 10 tickets. So the event of him not getting a single prize ticket is if all the prize tickets are among the 990 others.
Hence, ways to not get a single prize ticket = ⁹⁹⁰C₅
Therefore, the probability that he gets at least one prize ticket
= 1 - the probability of him not getting a single prize ticket.
= 1 - ⁹⁹⁰C₅/ ¹⁰⁰⁰C₅
Hence, the probability of him getting at least one prize is 1 - ⁹⁹⁰C₅/ ¹⁰⁰⁰C₅
