In a lottery there are 10 prizes and 25 blanks. What is the probability of getting a prize?
Given:
In a lottery, there are 10 prizes and 25 blanks.
To do:
We have to find the probability of getting a prize.
Solution:
Number of prizes $=10$
Number of blanks $=25$
This implies,
The total number of possible outcomes $n=10+25=35$.
The total number of favourable outcomes(getting a prize) $=10$.
We know that,
Probability of an event $=\frac{Number\ of\ favourable\ outcomes}{Total\ number\ of\ possible\ outcomes}$
Therefore,
Probability of getting a prize $=\frac{10}{35}$
$=\frac{2}{7}$
The probability of getting a prize is $\frac{2}{7}$.
