2. The name of the 1500-meter gold medal winner for each of the Olympics
from 1896 to 2000 is placed in a jar. (If a man has won the race more than
once, his name will be included for each race he won.)
A. If one name is drawn from the jar, which country has the best chance
of having a name drawn?
B. Three names are drawn without replacing the name after it is drawn.

Respuesta :

The probability shows that when one name is drawn from the jar, the country that has the best chance of having a name drawn is Great Britain.

How to calculate probability?

It should be noted that Great Britain has won 6 golds in the 1500 meters Olympics and the next placed country is Kenya. In this case, the country that has the best chance of having a name drawn is Great Britain.

Note that New Zealand has 3 gold medals while Australia has 2 gold medals. Also, the Olympics has taken place 29 times.

The probability that the winners will be from either New Zealand or Australia will be:

= 3/29 + 2/29

= 5/29
