Question:

In a lottery, there are 10 prizes and 25 blanks. A lottery is drawn at random. What is the probability of getting a prize?

Options:

$\frac{7}{2}$

$\frac{5}{7}$

$\frac{7}{5}$

$\frac{2}{7}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{2}{7}$

Explanation:

Number of prizes = 10

Number of blanks = 25

Total number of possible outcomes

= Number of prizes + Number of blanks

= 10 + 25 = 35

Now,

Probability of getting a prize = \(\frac{10}{35}\)

= \(\frac{2}{7}\)
