Probability= n(e)/n(s)
n(e)= 10c1 =10
n(s)= 10+25 =35c1 =35
p=10/35=2/7
n(e)= 10c1 =10
n(s)= 10+25 =35c1 =35
p=10/35=2/7

Total samples n(s)=25+10=35;
for getting one prize from 10 prizes n(e)=10c1;
probability =n(s)/n(e)=10/35=2/7
for getting one prize from 10 prizes n(e)=10c1;
probability =n(s)/n(e)=10/35=2/7

n(s)=35c1
n(e)=10c1
ans=10/35=2/7.
n(e)=10c1
ans=10/35=2/7.
