Answer: The probability of a winning company getting the use of the hospitality suite is 25%.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of companies that win = 8

Number of companies will also win use of the hospitality suite during an event of their choosing = 2

So, Probability of a winning company getting the use of the hospitality suite is given by


(2)/(8)\\\\=(1)/(4)\\\\=(1)/(4)* 100\\\\=25\%

Hence, the probability of a winning company getting the use of the hospitality suite is 25%.
