mrs. johnson gives out prizes to her students who are good in class. kids draw for a chance to win 3 prizes. they can win candy, pencils, or money. there is a 3/5 chance to win candy, and a 3/10 chance to win pencils. what is the probability of winning money?

Answer 1

To find the probability of winning money, we must first determine the probability of winning candy or pencils and then subtract that from 1.

The probability of winning candy is 3/5 and the probability of winning pencils is 3/10. So the probability of winning either candy or pencils is:

3/5 + 3/10 = 6/10 + 3/10 = 9/10

Therefore, the probability of winning money is:

1 - 9/10 = 1/10

So, the probability of winning money is 1/10.
