Answer:

0.1667

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Total number of people who are eligible to win cash prizes is 30.From the given table we notice that 5 people win $50 cash prize.

The probability of the first person winning the $50 prize is therefore :

[tex]p=\frac{Number \ who \ win \ \%50}{Total \ no \ of \ people}\\\\=5/30\\\\=\frac{1}{6}=0.1667[/tex]

Hence the probability of the first person winning the $50 prize is 0.1667
