Question

Krista bought a ticket to try to win a new computer. To win, she must choose three numbers to try to match the numbers that will be selected during thefinal prize drawing. For the prize drawing, the numbers 1 through 24 will be written on three sets of 24 ping pong balls. Each set of balls will be placed ina different bin, and one number will be drawn from each bin. What is the probability that Krista will win the computer?

Answer 1

Option A is correct.

(1/13824)

Step-by-step explanation

To calculate the total probability of winning the computer, we will calculate the probability of the numbers in each set matching the numbers in the final prize drawing.

Probability of getting the number right in one set = (1/24)

Probability of getting the number right in the three sets

= (1/24) × (1/24) × (1/24)

= (1/13824)

Hope this Helps!!!
