Need help pleaseI was bad at math in school so l want to learn

Answer 1

(a)

• Fraction: 750/12460

,

• Decimal: 0.06019

,

• Percentage: 6.019%

(b) Experimental

Explanation:

Part A

• The total number of tickets bought = 12 460

,

• The number of prizes awarded = 750 winners

To determine the probability of winning a prize if one ticket was purchased, divide the number of winners by the total number of tickets purchased.

`\text{The probability as a fraction}=(750)/(12460)`

Converting to a decimal:

`\text{The probability as a decimal}=0.06019`

To obtain the probability as a percentage, multiply the decimal by 100.

`\text{The probability as a percentage}=0.06019*100=6.019\%`

Part B

The event of buying the ticket is experimental in nature, thus, the probability calculated is an experimental probability.

Note: Theoretical probabilities are intrinsic in nature, that is, they occur theoretically and are not the result of experiments.
