The probability that a boy will win a ticket to a sporting event can be calculated by dividing the number of boys by the total number of contestants.
There are a total of 6 boys and 5 girls, so there are 11 contestants in total.
The probability that a boy will win a ticket to a sporting event is:
6 boys / 11 contestants = 6/11
Therefore, the probability is 56.
