D. /120​

Answer 1

Answer:option a 1/50

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The probability of him winning a prize is $\frac{1}{20}$

Solution:

The probability of an event is given as:

$Probability = \frac{\text{number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$

Given that,

In one thousand lottery tickets, there are 50 prizes to be given

Number of favorable outcomes = 50

Total number of outcomes = 1000

If Manish buys 1 ticket, the probability of him winning a prize is given as:

$Probability = \frac{50}{1000}\\\\Probability = \frac{1}{20} = 0.05$

Thus probability of him winning a prize is $\frac{1}{20}$
