If you buy one ticket in the Provincial Lottery, then the probability you will win a prize is 0.11 what is the probability that you would first win when you purchase the second ticket?
(probability of not winning the first ticket)*(probability of first winning when you purchase the second ticket)
(1-0.11)*(0.11)
To find the probability of winning a prize with the second ticket, we can use the concept of complementary probability. Since the probability of winning a prize on the first ticket is 0.11, the probability of not winning on the first ticket is 1 - 0.11 = 0.89.
Now, since the purchase of each ticket is independent, the probability of not winning on the first ticket and then winning on the second ticket is the product of their individual probabilities.
Probability of not winning on the first ticket = 0.89
Probability of winning on the second ticket = 0.11
Thus, the probability of winning for the first time when purchasing the second ticket is:
0.89 * 0.11 = 0.0979
Therefore, the probability of winning when purchasing the second ticket is approximately 0.0979 or 9.79%.
