Given:
1000 tickets
75 winning tickets
Calculate the probability to win the lottery.
Solution:
= 75/1000
Winning tickets is divided by the total tickets in order to find the probability or the change to win the lottery.
= 0.075
Multiply the decimal with 100 in order to get the percentage.
= (0.075)(100)
= 7.5%
There is a 7.5% change to win the lottery.
