Question

prize is ​

Answer 1

Answer:

5/25 or 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We get it 20+5=25 so how many prizes 5 right so we 5/25 or 1/5 if simplified

Answer 2

Answer:

The probability of getting a prize is $\frac{1}{5}$.

Explanation:

Given that, there are 5 prizes and 20 blanks.

So, total number of outcomes = 20 + 5 = 25

And the total number of favorable outcomes = 5

• As we know, the area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical representations of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true.

• An event's probability is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes certainty.

Probability of getting a prize = $\frac{Favourable \ outcome}{Total \ number of \ outcome}$

⇒ Probability =  $\frac{5}{25}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$

Final answer:

Hence, the probability of getting a prize is $\frac{1}{5}$.
