Answer:

1/35

Explanation:

Probability the first prize is a toy car

There are 3 toy cars and 15 prizes.

3/15 = 1/5

Probability the second prize is a toy car

Since we now have a toy car, there are are 2 toy cars left and only 14 prizes.

2/14 = 1/7


We have two events, so we multiply the probabilities.

1/5 * 1/7 = 1/35

The probability of getting 2 toy cars is 1/35
