Question

A small town’s raffle has 85 entries and 3 gift baskets that three different people could win. What is the probability of winning a gift basket if you have 1 of the entries

Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{3}{85}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a small town’s raffle has 85 entries and 3 gift baskets that three different people could win.

Total number of entries = 85

Total number of gift baskets = 3

We need to find the probability of winning a gift basket.

$\text{Required probability}=\dfrac{\text{Total number of gift baskets}}{\text{Total number of entries}}$

$\text{required probability}=\dfrac{3}{85}$

Therefore, the required probability is $\dfrac{3}{85}$.
