Question

A teacher is raffling off a big prize and little prize she puts all 30 of her students names on a slip of paper which she mixes up in a hat she closes her eyes and randomly grabs two slips what is the probability that Kim wins the big prize and Steve wins the little prize

Answer 1

Explanation:

The probability of Kim winning the big prize is 1/30 since there is only one Kim out of 30 students. Once Kim's name is drawn, there are only 29 students left in the hat, so the probability of Steve winning the little prize is 1/29. To find the probability of both events happening together, we multiply the individual probabilities:P(Kim wins big prize) * P(Steve wins little prize) = (1/30) * (1/29) = 1/870Therefore, the probability of Kim winning the big prize and Steve winning the little prize is 1/870.
