Question
In a lottery there are 10 prizes and 25 blanks. The probability of getting prize in a single draw is
Hint:
Probability of an event = Number of favourable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.
The correct answer is:
Here, it is given that in a lottery, there are 10 prizes and 25 blanks. We have to find the probability of winning a prize.
Total number of outcomes = Number of prizes + Number of blanks
= 10 + 25
= 35
Number of favourable outcomes = Number of prizes = 10
Therefore, P ( getting a proze ) = 10/35
= 2/7
Hence, the correct option is (a).
0 ≤ P (E) ≤ 1
