Answer:

<h2>0.035</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on probabilty since there are a number of entries to be selected from which are 85 entries, the chances of winning one of the prices if selected is

the number of entries you have/ total number of entries

given that the total entry is 85

and that you have one entry

Since there are three gift baskets you have three chances to win one.

hence there will be a total of three draws, and after each draw, there won't be a replacement of the previous winner (as the winners are three distinct persons).

Hence the probability of winning a draw for the gift basket is  

=1st draw+2nd draw+3rd draw

= 1/85+1/84+1/83

= 0.0117+0.0119+0.012

= 0.035

Industries below 50% growth are

Personnel supply services, Warehousing and storage, Water and sanitation, Management and public relations, Business services, Equipment rental and leasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph percentage change is on the x axis and on the y axis all industries have been mentioned.

All the industries on y axis have the span over x axis representing the growth and salaries.

Rest six industries are below 60% growth.So Ella should consider these industries to join.
