Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Six out of every 10 tickets are winning tickets.

            Of the winning tickets, 1 out of every three awards is a larger prize.

Solution :

Since 10 tickets are drawn

Out of 10 ,  6 tickets are wining

All six will get awards

Out of three awards 1 is a larger pize and total there are six awards

So, out of six awards there are 2 larger awards

Thus out of 10 tickets there are 2 larger awards

⇒$\frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}$

Thus,  The probability that a ticket that is randomly chosen will award a larger prize is  

$\frac{1}{5}$
