Solution

- The formula for finding the probability is :


P=\frac{Number\text{ of champions}}{Number\text{ of teams}}

- Since there can only be one champion and there are 30 teams, we can find the probability of choosing the champion randomly as follows:


P=(1)/(30)*100\%=3.333\bar{3}\%\approx3\%\text{ \lparen To the nearest whole number\rparen}

Final Answer

The answer is 3%
