Answer:
3/50
Step-by-step explanation:
Prizes will be randomly awarded to three different people in a room of 50 people. If you are one of these people, what is the probability that you will win one of the prizes?
49 + 1
Probability of selecting as 1st winner = 1/50
Probability of not selecting 1st Winner = 49/50
Probaility of Selecting 2nd Winner = (49/50)(1/49) = 1/50
Probability of not Selecting even 2nd winner = (49/50)(48/49) = 48/50
Probability of Selecting 3rd Winner = (48/50)(1/48) = 1/50
Probability of Selecting as winner = 1/50 + 1/50 + 1/50
= 3/50
