Answer: 3 / 85
Explanation:
Given the following :
Number of gift basket = 3
Nunber of entries = 85
Probability of winning a gift basket if you have one of the entries :
With one entry, one has a chance of winning one of 3 gift baskets
Hence, the required outcome of one entry = 3
Total possible outcomes = number of entries = 85
P(winning a gift basket with one entry) :
Required outcome / Total possible outcomes
= 3 / 85
Also, it could be calculated thus ;
Probability of one entry from a total of 85;
= 1/ 85.
And one entry has a Chance of winning one of 3 different gift baskets
Hence (1/85 × 3) = 3/85
