Answer 1

Answer:

a. 1/10

b. 4/10

c. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 equal sections.

a. 1 section is labeled "Large Prize", so the probability of winning a large prize is 1/10.

b. 1 section is labeled "Large Prize" and 3 sections are labeled "Small Prize", so there's 4 prize section.  Therefore, the probability of winning a prize is 4/10.

c. Each person has a 4/10 chance of winning a prize.  So if there are 50 people, we would expect 4/10 × 50 = 20 people to win a prize.
