She won a at the end of the contest

The Judges’ Take The judges were more effusive. In the words of Piers Morgan, she sang the song “better than you did last time” and “that, to me, was the greatest performance in Britain’s Got Talent history. I loved it.” He, like fellow judges Cowell – who was famously stunned when he first saw her – and actress Amanda Holden were on their feet at the end of her performance. And Cowell said, “You had the guts to come back here tonight, face your critics and you beat them, and that’s the most important thing. I’ve got to know the real Susan Boyle – which is not the person I’ve seen portrayed in the media – who is still a very nice shy person who just wants a break. I absolutely adore you.” Britain Is Watching On Saturday, more than 15 million viewers were expected to tune in and three of Boyle’s nieces – including Kirsty Foy, who told PEOPLE, “We’re all disappointed but very proud of Susan. She was fantastic tonight.” – were in the audience. Back home in Blackburn, Scotland, families, including babies in strollers and infant carriers, gathered in the town’s Community Education Centre. Handmade banners that read, “Good luck Susan,” “Vote 4 Susan” and “Hands Up 4 Susan,” were hung on brick walls. Fans watched on a giant screen with the show being projected and audio echoing throughout the hall. Before the results, Boyle told the TV cameras that people will see a “new Susan Boyle, Susan Boyle the singer. The pressure put on me this week has been overwhelming. It’s the most imp...

Marie C. Bolden made national headlines when she turned in a flawless performance at a spelling bee in Cleveland. Her competitors included white students from segregated school districts in the South. Courtesy the Brown Family If you haven't heard about the Black girl who won the first national spelling bee in the U.S. 115 years ago, you're not alone: even many in her family didn't know about Marie C. Bolden's feat until after she died, decades later. "It's astounding to me" that she never talked about winning a gold medal in front of thousands of people, Bolden's grandson, Mark Brown, told NPR. But back in 1908, Bolden's victory made national news and upended racist stereotypes, less than 50 years after the Civil War. The 14-year-old did it by being perfect, spelling 500 words flawlessly to lead her hometown team, Cleveland, Ohio, to victory in the city's then-new Hippodrome Theater. "She never talked about this award, this amazing accomplishment," Brown said. "But even Booker T. Washington mentioned [it] in his speeches." Bolden's win was a national sensation Boleden's win was dramatic and unprecedented: Cleveland's team was trailing in a field that included teams from New Orleans, Pittsburgh and Erie, Pa., near the end of the contest, according to contemporary accounts. But then Bolden vaulted her team to the top prize. "When I felt nervous at the Hippodrome, it steadied me to think of these things," she was quoted telling The Plain Dealer. "I just kind of gritted my te...

Q3: Do I need to put the word "the" behind "prize/place" in my resume? Related Questions: You certainly need at least a when the exact event is not mentioned. Then you need a the where it is. Also the is not used for placement or mention: 1 and 2 are correct if you mention which contest. You also need to mention what type of contest. This is the case for all your achievements. I would drop the the. 3 The the is not needed in front of Honorable Mention but you DO need an or the in front of International Interdisciplinary Contest 4 no need for the in front of 1st prize but the or a in front of +Mathematics Competition_. 5 no need for thein front of 3rd Prize So • I won first place/1st prize in the 24th annual Beijing Math Contest. • I won first prize and first place in the XXX Contest. • I won Honorable Mention at The International Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling. • I won 1st prize in The XXX Mathematics Competition....

Showing her humorous side, Dion went on to add that she "felt like a horse" because viewers could bet on Eurovision contestants. While already a star in her native Canada, the rest of the world had yet to experience Dion's powerhouse vocals — so people might not have been betting on her at the time. However, this was all about to change. While Eurovision is known for some silly novelty acts similar to those viewers might see on current American shows like "America's Got Talent," it is also responsible for launching the career of some of the world's most famous musicians. Per The Wrap, Swedish singing sensation ABBA — who went on to inspire a Broadway musical based on their collection of hits like "Mama Mia!" — was a Eurovision winner in 1974. Similarly, According to Smooth Radio, Yugoslavia then delivered an upset by awarding six points to Switzerland and no points to the U.K. This gave Dion just a one point lead over Fitzgerald, meaning the Canadian crooner had won the contest 137-136. Per Smooth Radio, Angélil convinced Dion to get on stage, accept her trophy, and reprise her winning song. By the next year, Dion had her first massive American hit, "Where Does My Heart Beat Now," and the rest is musical history.

The Question Suppose that 100 people enter a contest and that different winners are selected at random for first, second, and third prizes. What is the probability that Michelle wins one of these prizes if she is one of the contestants? My Work Our sample space is all the possible permutations of first second and third out of 100 contestants. Therefore $|S| = P(100,3)$ There are three possible scenarios where Michelle wins a prize. Therefore the probability that she wins a prize is $\frac$ why is the sample space only 100? This makes no sense to me. A sample size is all the possible outcomes of an experiment. The experiment was awarding first second and third too 100 contestants. $P(100,3)$ possible outcomes, right? Was my book wrong? $\begingroup$ With your description of the sample space, there aren't just three possible scenarios where Michelle wins a prize: when Michelle wins first or second or third, there are $P(99,2)$ ways to fill the other two spots in the top three. So the probability is $3 P(99,2)/P(100,3)=3\cdot 99 \cdot 98 / (100 \cdot 99 \cdot 98)$, or $3/100$. $\endgroup$ No, there are more than $3$ scenarios in which Michelle wins a prize. She can win first prize in $\frac $$
