In the drawing, six out of every 10 tickets are winning tickets. Of the winning tickets, 1 out of every three awards is a larger prize. What is the probability that a ticket that is randomly chosen will award a larger prize?

Answer:



(1)/(5)


Explanation:

Given : Six out of every 10 tickets are winning tickets.

Of the winning tickets, 1 out of every three awards is a larger prize.

Solution :

Since 10 tickets are drawn

Out of 10 , 6 tickets are wining

All six will get awards

Out of three awards 1 is a larger pize and total there are six awards

So, out of six awards there are 2 larger awards

Thus out of 10 tickets there are 2 larger awards



(2)/(10) = (1)/(5)


Thus, The probability that a ticket that is randomly chosen will award a larger prize is



(1)/(5)
