Question

There are 31 tickets for line leader, 10 tickets for paper passer and 19 tickets for book collector. If ray select a ticket from a box. What is the probability that he will pull out a ticket for Line Leader?

Answer 1

`31/60`

Explanation:

There are a total of 31+10+19=60 tickets

Now the probability (P) of an event P(event) equals

`color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)("P(event)"=("number of favourable outcomes")/"Total possible outcomes")color(white)(a/a)|)))`

Here the favourable event is 'pulling' out a Line Leader ticket of which there are 31.
The total number of possible outcomes is 60.

`rArr"P(line leader)"=31/60`
