Question

For the 50 students in an art contest there will be 1 prize for 1st place, 1 prize for 2nd place, and 3 prizes for a honorable mention. What is the probability of winning a prize?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the total amount of getting a prize first.

1 prize (1st place) + 1 prize (2nd place) + 1 (will win) 3 prizes (honorable mention)

$\frac{3}{50}$ chance to win a prize.
