Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

Number of small drinks ---> 75 coupons

Number of medium drinks --> 125 coupons

Number of large drinks --> 150 coupons

So, the probability that the first customer pull a coupon from the box got a medium drink coupon is:

`P=\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}`

The total number of possible outcomes is 75+125+150=350 coupons

Medium drink favourable outcomes is equal to 125 coupons

`P=(125)/(350)=(5)/(14)`

The answer is 5/14
