The exact probability that you win the first prize and your friend wins the second prize is 1/306

How to determine the probability?

The given parameters are:

  • Participants = 18
  • Winners = First and Second

The probability that you win the first prize is:

P(First) = 1/18

Now, there are 17 participants

The probability that your friend wins the second prize is:

P(Second) = 1/17

So, the required probability is:

P = 1/18 * 1/17

Evaluate

P = 1/306

Hence, the probability is 1/306
