The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probabilities of A and B winning in their respective lotteries and then determine the ratio of these probabilities. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Lottery A:** - Lottery A consists of 3 prize tickets and 6 blank tickets, making a total of 9 tickets. - A chooses 3 tickets from this lottery. - We need to find the probability that A picks only prize tickets. 2. **Calculating the Probability for A:** - The total number of ways to choose 3 tickets from 9 is given by the combination formula: \[ \text{Total ways} = \binom{9}{3} = \frac{9!}{3!(9-3)!} = \frac{9 \times 8 \times 7}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 84 \] - The number of favorable outcomes (choosing all 3 prize tickets) is: \[ \text{Favorable ways} = \binom{3}{3} = 1 \] - Therefore, the probability \( P(A) \) that A picks only prize tickets is: \[ P(A) = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{1}{84} \] 3. **Understanding Lottery B:** - Lottery B consists of 1 prize ticket and 2 blank tickets, making a total of 3 tickets. - B chooses 1 ticket from this lottery. - We need to find the probability that B picks the prize ticket. 4. **Calculating the Probability for B:** - The number of favorable outcomes for B (choosing the prize ticket) is 1. - The total number of tickets is 3. - Therefore, the probability \( P(B) \) that B picks the prize ticket is: \[ P(B) = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{1}{3} \] 5. **Finding the Ratio of Probabilities:** - We need to find the ratio \( P(A) : P(B) \): \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{P(A)}{P(B)} = \frac{\frac{1}{84}}{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{84} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{3}{84} = \frac{1}{28} \] - Thus, the ratio in favor of A and B is: \[ P(A) : P(B) = 1 : 28 \] ### Final Answer: The ratio in favor of A and B is \( 1 : 28 \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the probabilities of A and B winning in their respective lotteries and then determine the ratio of these probabilities. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Lottery A:** - Lottery A consists of 3 prize tickets and 6 blank tickets, making a total of 9 tickets. - A chooses 3 tickets from this lottery. - We need to find the probability that A picks only prize tickets. ...
