Alicia and her friend are entered in a raffle drawing along with eight other people. Two names are drawn—one right after the other. The same person can’t win twice. What is the probability that Alicia and her friend will be the winners?
There are 10 people in total who are entered in the raffle drawing.
The probability that Alicia's friend is drawn first is 1/10.
After her friend is drawn, there are 9 people left, so the probability that Alicia is drawn next is 1/9.
Therefore, the probability that Alicia and her friend will be the winners is (1/10) * (1/9) = 1/90 or approximately 0.0111.
So, the probability of Alicia and her friend winning the raffle is 1/90 or approximately 0.0111.
