To find,

The probability of getting a prize in the given lottery.

Solution,

First of all, we need to calculate the total number of tickets of that lottery, by using the following mathematical formula,

The total number of tickets = Total prizes + Total blanks = 30+5 = 35

Now, probability of getting a prize,will be,

= Number of prizes/Total number of tickets

= 5/35

= 1/7

Hence,the probability of getting a prize in the given lottery is 1/7.
