Each ticket bought is $2.25. Each ticket bought
Gives one chance in the drawing. Jose
Purchased 10 tickets. If there were 510 tickets
Purchased in all, what is the probability that
One of Jose's ticket's will be drawn first?
10/510 or1: 52 chance
To find the probability of one of Jose's tickets being drawn first, we need to determine the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.
First, let's determine the total number of possible outcomes. We are told that there were 510 tickets purchased in total.
Next, let's calculate the number of favorable outcomes. Since Jose purchased 10 tickets, there are 10 chances out of the total 510 tickets that one of his tickets will be drawn first.
Therefore, the probability of one of Jose's tickets being drawn first is 10 favorable outcomes out of 510 total possible outcomes, which can be simplified to 10/510 or approximately 1:51 chance.
