Manny, Rachelle, and Peg race each other in carts. There are no other racers, and exactly one racer wins each race (no ties allowed!). The following graph shows an incomplete probability model for who will win any given race.

Answer: 0.4

P (Manny wins) + P (Rachelle wins) + P (Peg wins) = 1

0.35 + P (Rachelle wins) + 0.25 = 1

P (Rachelle wins) = 1 - 0.35 - 0.35

P (Rachelle wins) = 0.4

The probability that Rachelle will win any given race is 0.4.
