Raffle Probability 1Fc75D
1. **State the problem:** We need to find the probability that Miss Robinson does not win the raffle.
2. **Given information:**
- Total tickets sold: 700
- Tickets bought by Miss Robinson: 5
- Number of winning tickets: 1
3. **Formula for probability:**
The probability of an event happening is given by:
$$\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}$$
4. **Calculate the probability that Miss Robinson wins:**
Since there is only 1 winning ticket and Miss Robinson has 5 tickets, the probability she wins is:
$$P(\text{win}) = \frac{5}{700} = \frac{1}{140}$$
5. **Calculate the probability that Miss Robinson does not win:**
The probability that she does not win is the complement of winning:
$$P(\text{not win}) = 1 - P(\text{win}) = 1 - \frac{1}{140} = \frac{139}{140}$$
6. **Final answer:**
The probability that Miss Robinson does not win the raffle is:
$$\boxed{\frac{139}{140}}$$
