a community group sells 2000 tickets for its raffle. the grand prize is a car. neil and 9 of his friends buy 10 tickets each. when the winning number is announced, it is found to belong to neil's group. given the information, what is the probability that the ticket belongs to neil?

The ticket belongs to neils group which has 10 people in. they all bought 10 tickets so therefore there is a 10/100 chance the ticket belongs to neil or 1/10 in its simplist form.

Answer: 10 out of 2000 (1/200)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sure it says that 10 people in a group (including Neil) bought 10 tickets each but that isn't what the question is asking. It is only considering Neil.

Think of the question this way. What is the probability Neil won a raffle is 2000 tickets are in total and Neil bought 10.

10 tickets are the tickets Neil bought and 2000 tickets is the total

10 on top and 2000 on the bottom.
