Question

Monica and Brianne each draw one prize ticket at random from different boxes. Monica has a 20% chance of winning a prize. Brianne has a 1/10 chance of winning a prize. Is Monica or Brianne more likely to win a prize? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer: Monica

Explanation:

Given

Monica has a 20% chance of winning a prize

Brianne has a
`(1)/(10)` chance of winning a prize

20% chance refers to

`(20)/(100)=(2)/(10)`

As

`(2)/(10)>(1)/(10)`

therefore, monica is more likely to win the prize.
