Justin’s teacher places a ticket with a student’s name in a jar each time they perform an act of kindness. At the end of the week the teacher will draw a ticket from the jar and award a prize. Justin has 13 tickets so far, with a total of 100 in the whole jar. His goal is to have 20 tickets, and he’s estimating the total number of tickets at that point would be about 200. What is the probability of him winning the drawing if he meets his goal?(1 point) Responses 13200 Start Fraction 13 over 200 End Fraction 15 Start Fraction 1 over 5 End Fraction 110 Start Fraction 1 over 10 End Fraction 13100

To find the probability of Justin winning the drawing if he meets his goal of having 20 tickets, we first need to understand the total number of tickets after he achieves that goal, which he estimates would be about 200 tickets in total (including his 20 tickets).

The probability \( P \) of Justin winning the drawing can be calculated using the formula:

\[ P = \frac{\text{Number of tickets Justin has}}{\text{Total number of tickets}} \]

If Justin has 20 tickets and there are approximately 200 tickets in total, the probability would be:

\[ P = \frac{20}{200} \]

Now, simplifying \( \frac{20}{200} \):

\[ P = \frac{1}{10} \]

Thus, the probability of Justin winning the drawing if he meets his goal of 20 tickets is:

\[ \frac{1}{10} \]
