In a certain lottery 10,000 tickets are sold and ten equal prizes are awarded. What is the probability of not getting a prize if you buy 10 tickets.

योग

उत्तर

Number of tickets that are not getting a prize

= 10000 – 10

= 9990

∵ Total number of tickets = 10000

Similarly, number of ways to get 10 tickets not getting prizes out of 9990 = `""^9990C_10`

number of ways to get 10 tickets out of 10000 = `""^10000C_10`

Hence, probability of not getting prizes with 10 tickets

= `(""^9990C_10)/(""^10000C_10)`.
