 A. is the correct answer
1/6

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people who are eligible to win cash prizes is 30.

From the given table it is noticed that 5 people win $50 cash prize.

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

[tex]\text{probability}=\frac{\text{Number of person who win \$50 cash prize}}{\text{Total no. of persons}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{probability}=\frac{5}{30}[/tex]

[tex]\text{probability}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

The probability of the first person winning the $50 prize is [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex].

Therefore, option A is correct.
