Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Total prizes = 5

Blanks = 15

Total places = 20 (5+15)

Probability = Prizes/total places

= 5/20

= 1/4

Hence probability of getting a prize is 1/4 (25%)

In a lottery there are 5 prizes and 15 blanks then the probability of getting a prize is?

$\: \: \:$

$\huge{\mathfrak{\red{\underline{\blue{\underline{\orange{\underline{\green{Answer:-}}}}}}}}}$

Total number of lottery tickets = 5 + 15 = 20

Number of prizes = 5

Number of blank tickets = 15

___________________________________

Probability of getting a prize is :-

• Number of prizes ÷ Total tickets

• $\frac{5}{20}$

• $\frac{1}{4}$

So, the probability of getting a prize is 1/4.
