You are working as an office apprentice for a collage.
The collage is giving away free tickets to encourage more people to visit the amateur sport tournaments the collage is planning to host.
Every time a customer purchases a ticket they are entered into a draw. Each draw is made up of 800 entrants. There is a 1/20 chance of winning.
How many winners will there be per draw?
What is the chance of not winning? Show your answer in percentage form.
To determine how many winners there will be per draw, we need to find the probability of winning.
The probability of winning is given as 1/20, which means that out of the 800 entrants in each draw, one person will win.
Therefore, there will be 1 winner per draw.
To find the chance of not winning, we need to subtract the probability of winning from 1.
The probability of not winning is 1 - 1/20 = 19/20.
To express this in percentage form, we need to multiply the probability by 100.
The chance of not winning is (19/20) * 100 = 95%.
