Question

A community centre organises a raffle to raise money for charity

There is one prize to be won

Daniel buys 17 raffle tickets.



A total of 280 tickets were sold

What’s the probability that Daniel does not win the prize

Answer 1

263 / 280

Explanation:

Given that :

Number of tickets bought = required outcome = 17

Total number of raffle = total possible outcomes = 280

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(winning) = 17 / 280

P(not winning) = 1 - 17/ 280

= 263 / 280
