At the Homecoming Carnival, one of the games allows players to select a floating rubber ducky from a kiddie pool full of ducks. A code has been written on the bottom of each duck; the code gives the value of the prize won. There are 50 ducks in all – 2 have stars, 6 have circles, and 15 have squares. The rest of the ducks have no code.
All prizes are vouchers for the concession stand at the football game:
A duck with a star wins the player a $5.00 voucher.
A duck with a circle wins the player a $2.00 voucher.
A duck with a square wins the player a $1.00 voucher.
What is the probability of selecting a duck with a star?
