Answer:
First blank - A)Total Number of Possible Outcomes
Second blank - B)Number of Winners
Step-by-step explanation:
The exact question is as follows :
We know that,
Probability of an event is equals to Total number of Favorable outcomes divided by Total number of outcomes
So,
P(event) = Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total Number of Possible Outcomes
As we have to predict the Number of winners of a game
So,
P(Number of winner) = Number of winners ÷ Total number of Contestants
∴ we get
P(event) = Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total Number of Possible Outcomes
= Number of winners ÷ Total number of Contestants
