Given :
There are 36 tickets sold for a raffle for the Student Art Auction, and there are two prizes to be awarded.
Dionte buys two tickets.
To Find :
The probability that he will win both price.
Solution :
Number of prizes available, p = 2
Probability of getting price from first draw :
[tex]P_1=\dfrac{2}{36}\\\\P_1=\dfrac{1}{18}[/tex]
Probability of getting price from second draw if he won first prize :
[tex]P_2=\dfrac{2-1}{36-1}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{1}{35}[/tex]
So, probability of winning both prize :
[tex]P=P_1\times P_2\\\\P=\dfrac{2}{36}\times \dfrac{1}{35}\\\\P=0.00159[/tex]
Therefore, probability of winning both prize is 0.00159 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
