Question

Maria went to a store to buy a lottery ticket. The tickets were numbered from 1 to 50. She wants to buy a ticket with her lucky number on it. Find the chances of her choosing the ticket with her lucky number out of the total tickets.

• A. $\frac{1}{50}$
• B. $\frac{25}{50}$
• C. $\frac{1}{33}$
• D. $\frac{33}{50}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{50}$

Total number of tickets = 50
Number of tickets with her lucky number = 1

So, Maria's chance of choosing a ticket with her lucky number on it is 1 out of 50.

Thus, Maria's chance of choosing a ticket with her lucky number out of the $\text{total tickets is}\frac{1}{50}.$
