Question

You and your mom are entering a drawing with three different prizes. The prizes are awarded at random. If a total of 8 people enter the drawing in how many ways can you win first prize and your mom win second

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of ways can you win first prize and your mom win second is   1/56 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of  people entered the contest= 8  people

Total number of prices awarded=3  prizes

Therefore the total number of ways in which 3 prizes can be awarded  = 8*7*6 = 336 ways

The number of ways  in which you can win  first prize and your monm can win the second prize is =1*1*6 = 6 ways  

So,by probability  to find the ways with which you can win the first prize and mom can win the second prize can be calculated as = 6/336 = 1/56
