The players drew screws to see who would start 1st. There were 6 short straws & 1 long straw. Santa drew 1st. What is the probability of his picking the long straw & going 1st?

Respuesta :

The probability is given by the ratio between the amount of long straws and the total amount of straws. Since we have 6 short straws and 1 long starw, the total is

[tex]6+1=7[/tex]

Then, the probability is

[tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]
