Answer 1

Answer: Large Cash Prize is A. 0000001

Small Cash Prizes is B. 0.16

Free Samples is C. About 0.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Large Cash Price

The probability of winning 1 large Cash price is 1 out of 10 million so that would be,

= 1/10,000,000

= 0.0000001 which is option A

Small Cash Prices

Probability of winning a Mall Cash price is 1,600,000 out of 10,000,000 which would be,

= 1,600,000/10,000,000

= 0.16 which is Option B

Free Samples

Winning free samples of the Company's products would be,

= 10,000,000 - 1,600,000 - 1

= 8,399,999

Now we divide by 10,000,000

= 8399999/10,000,000

= 0.83999

= 0.84 so option C
