Answer:
P(prize)= 2/7
Explanation:
The probability of getting a prize can be found by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes.
P (prize) = favorable / total
The favorable outcome is a prize and there are 10 prizes.
P (prize) = 10 / total
There are 10 prizes and 25 blanks. Add 10 and 25.
10 prizes + 25 blanks= 35 total outcomes
P (prize)= 10/35
This fraction can be simplified. Both the numerator and denominator can be evenly divided by 5.
P(prize)= (10/5) / (35/5)
P(prize) = 2 / (35/5)
P(prize)= 2/7
The probability of receiving a prize is 2/7
