Question

A box contains 8 tickets. Two of them are marked 1. What is the probability of drawing a ticket marked 1?

1) 1/4
2) 1/8
3) 2/8
4) 2/4

Answer 1

The probability of drawing a ticket marked 1 from a box of 8 tickets, with 2 tickets marked 1, is 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the probability of drawing a ticket marked 1 from a box containing 8 tickets, where two of the tickets are marked 1. To find this, we use the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes. In this case, there are 2 tickets marked 1 (favorable outcomes) among 8 total tickets. Therefore, the probability is 2 out of 8, which simplifies to 1/4. This can be expressed as P(1) = 2/8 = 1/4.

So the answer is option 1) 1/4.
