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.

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.
