Question

in a certain instant lottery game, the chances of a win are stated as 19 out of 100. express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value between 0 and 1 inclusive.
the probability is
(round to two decimal places as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

Step2: Identify values

Number of favorable outcomes (wins) = 19, total number of outcomes = 100. So probability = $\frac{19}{100}$

Step3: Convert to decimal

$\frac{19}{100}=0.19$

Answer:

0.19
