Part (a) What was Renate's chance of winning a Green Card? Write your answer as a probability statement. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) PO) -
Part (b) In the summer of 1994, Renate received a letter stating she was one of 110,000 finalists chosen. Once the finalists were chosen, assuming that each finalist had an equal chance to win, what was Renate's chance of winning a Green Card? Let F = was a finalist.
