The campus vets club is having a raffle and is selling 2,700 tickets. If the people on your floor of the dorm bought 297 of those tickets, what is the probability that someone on your floor will hold the winning ticket? (Enter your answer as a decimal.)
297/2700 = .11
You're awesome, thank you much and Happy Holidays to you!
To find the probability that someone on your floor will hold the winning ticket, we need to divide the number of tickets purchased by your floor by the total number of tickets sold.
Number of tickets purchased by your floor = 297
Total number of tickets sold = 2,700
Probability = (Number of tickets purchased by your floor) / (Total number of tickets sold)
Probability = 297 / 2,700
To calculate the decimal form, divide 297 by 2,700:
Probability = 0.11
So, the probability that someone on your floor will hold the winning ticket is 0.11 (or 11%).
