URGENT HELP A contest allows anyone to enter as many times as they would like and at the end of the contest, a winner is randomly chosen from all the entries. Suppose 450 people enter the contest. If Sabine entered 3 times and Joe entered 5 times, then what is the probability Joe or Sabine will win the contest?

Sagot :

Answer:

4/225

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula :

Probability (Event) = No. of times event has occurred / Total possibilities

==============================================================

Solving :

⇒ P (Joe or Sabine) = No. of times Joe or Sabine has entered / Total number of people

⇒ P (Joe or Sabine) = 3 + 5 / 450

⇒ P (Joe or Sabine) = 8/450

⇒ P (Joe or Sabine) = 4/225
