Let’s say you are on a game show, with several fab-u-lous prizes: a 5-speed
automatic washer-dryer, a deluxe self-cleaning toaster-oven,
a one-week all-expenses-paid Tropical Getaway, or the consolation prize of
2 dozen pet rocks. Your chances are as follows:
| Prize |
Chances |
|---|---|
| Washer-dryer |
5% |
| Toaster Oven |
10% |
| Tropical Getaway |
1% |
| Pet Rocks |
84% |
Furthermore, the rules of the game show state that you will win one and only
one prize.
What are your chances of winning a household appliance? (in other words,
the washer-dryer OR the toaster oven?)
