Question

Sixty people purchase raffle tickets. Three winning tickets are selected at random. If each prize is $3000, in how many different ways can the prizes be awarded?

Answer 1

Answer:$^{60}C_{3}$ ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

$^{n}C_{k}$ is the number of ways in which $k$ distinct objects are selected from a pile of $n$ distinct objects.

In our question,there are a total of $60$ people.

So,$n=60$.

Given that three are selected at random.

So,$k=3$.

So,the answer is $^{60}C_{3}$ ways.
