so.....

 

 

266 tickets sold, and 26 prizes...

Each ticket has a 1 in 10 chance of winning...

 

I bought 10 tickets, does that mean all mine will win!!..

 

Or that I have 10 out of 266 chances or 10 out of 26???..

Thats more like it.... is it??

YES, 10 out of 26.... buggered if I know, probability never was a strong point of mine in maths...

 

Well thanks everyone for buying, but I'll let you know how my new toys are tomorrow!! and where I'll be donating the ticket money..... LOL

 

anyway Thanks to everyone involved in organising it, and thanks to the prize donators

 

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE, have fun and be safe

10/266+10/265+10/264.........+10/241 (dots are all the 10/n-1 in between)

 

I think thats your chances lol ;)

 

Anyone care to work that out?

 

I was never any good with stats either so thats probably complete 80110X :rofl:

Oh grollocks....

of course as each prize is drawn, that is another chance removed from the overall amount of chances,....

 

Oh well, I dont really care what the odds are, I'LL WIN ANYWAY!!! :tongue: :tongue:

Of course, if you won the first prize, your chances afterwards would be 9/n-1... Guess why I did maths with mechanics rather than stats :D

Of course, WHEN you win the first prize, your chances afterwards would be 9/n-1... Guess why I did maths with mechanics rather than stats :D

 

I have corrected your comments as appropriate !! :rofl: :rofl:

I never win anything anyway so there's not much point working it out :cry:

 

 

Ditto :rofl: ;)

Looking forward to a bit of Christmas draw meself :D

Ditto :rofl: ;)
