Any help would be greatly appreciated. There are 300 raffle tickets.

The prizes are as follows:

First prize - voucher for meal at local restaurant

Second prize - food hamper

Third prize - chocolate cake

4x homemade jams

3x homemade pickles

A prize is won after the first raffle ticket is drawn.

What is the probability of winning a prize when the next ticket is drawn?

0.007

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that you have a ticket.

We have 3 prizes, and 300 tickets.

After the first tiket is drawn, someone win a prize, so now we have 299 tikets left and 2 prizes left.

Then, for the next draw, you have p = 1/299 of wining a prize.

If you did not win there, the probability for the third price is p = 1/298 (because there are 2 less tickets now)

Then the probability of winning at least one prize is:

P = 1/299 + 1/298 = 0.007

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get
