In a carnival drawing, a green ticket wins $1, a yellow ticket wins $5, and a blue ticket wins $10. There are 100 green tickets, 25 yellow tickets and 5 blue tickets. In simplest form, what are the odds in favor of winning $5 or more?

Answer 1

How can I win $5 or more ? --- By drawing a yellow or blue ticket.

How many yellows and blues do you have ??
How many total tickets??
What is the prob of a yellow or blue ??
Can you find the odds of that?

Let me know your answer.

Answer 2

first probability of winning $5 or more
how many tickets total? 100 + 25 + 5 = 130
how many are yellow or blue? 25+5 = 30
so probability of success = 30/130
now probability of failure = 100/130

odds = prob of success / prob of failure = 30/100 = 3/10

Answer 3

is it 1:4?

Answer 4

I think 3:10
