OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

your set up will always be \[\frac{ x}{ y }\] which is x is your 1 and y is your 5 so what is your prbability

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/1 ?:D

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

no other way around remeber x/y not y/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rightt

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

so it will be \[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\] remember your y is always the total amount

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
