Question

The acts in a talent competition consist of 4 instrumentalists, 10 singers, and 6 dancers. If the acts are ordered randomly, what is the probability that a dancer performs first

Answer 1

Zero percent! Instrumentalists, dancers, then singers. That's how it goes. That's how a competition should go!

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{6}{20} = \frac{3}{10?}$

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount of acts = 4+10+6 = 20

amount of dancers = 6

probability of picking a dancer = number of dancers / total number of talents = 6/20 = 3/10
