Question

Kiara and her friends are playing The Duck Game at a local fair. In this game, the player selects one of 50 identical plastic ducks from a pool. The bottom of each duck is numbered 1, 2, or 3. If you draw a duck with a 1, you win a small prize, a duck with a 2 will win you a medium prize, and a duck with a 3 will win a large prize. According to the game operator, there are 25 ducks with the number 1 on the bottom, 20 ducks with the number 2, and 5 ducks with the number 3.
