In a lottery, 10 tickets are sold. If you buy 1 ticket, what is the probability of winning?
  • Step 1: Understand that there are 10 tickets in total.
  • Step 2: Know that only 1 of those tickets is a winning ticket.
  • Step 3: If you buy 1 ticket, you want to find out the chance that your ticket is the winning one.
