Yes. Please submit new questions separately by using "post a new question". Make them specific, like a math problem to solve, not general "I need help" questions.
To find the probability of each boy winning the raffle, we need to determine the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes for each boy.
1. Find the total number of possible outcomes:
Since there are 100 tickets sold, the total number of possible outcomes is 100.
2. Determine the number of favorable outcomes for Jack:
Since Jack bought 5 tickets, the number of favorable outcomes for Jack is 5.
3. Determine the number of favorable outcomes for Mat:
Since Mat bought 3 tickets, the number of favorable outcomes for Mat is 3.
4. Determine the number of favorable outcomes for Jon:
Since Jon bought 2 tickets, the number of favorable outcomes for Jon is 2.
5. Calculate the probability for each boy:
Probability = Number of Favorable Outcomes / Total Number of Possible Outcomes
For Jack: Probability(Jack winning) = 5 / 100 = 0.05 or 5%
For Mat: Probability(Mat winning) = 3 / 100 = 0.03 or 3%
For Jon: Probability(Jon winning) = 2 / 100 = 0.02 or 2%
Therefore, the probability of Jack winning is 5%, Mat winning is 3%, and Jon winning is 2%.
