A community centre organises a raffle to raise money for charity.
There is 1 prize to be won in the raffle.
Daniel buys 17 raffle tickets.
A total of 280 tickets were sold.
Find the probability that Daniel does not win the prize?

Answer 1

0.9393 = 93.93% probability that Daniel does not win the prize

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question, we have that:

There are 280 tickets.

Daniel does not have 280 - 17 = 263 of them. So

263/280 = 0.9393

0.9393 = 93.93% probability that Daniel does not win the prize
