Question

in a certain instant lottery game, the chances of a win are stated as \6 in 25.\ express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value between 0 and 1 inclusive.
the probability is
(round to three 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) = 6, total number of outcomes = 25. So probability = $\frac{6}{25}$

Step3: Calculate and round

$\frac{6}{25}=0.240$

Answer:

0.240
