Answer

$P(makes~a~Lingo~on~their~first~draw)=0$

Work Step by Step

From (a): $N(S)=21$. According to the rules of the game, there is no ball to be drawn by the team that will form a Lingo. That is, the event "makes a Lingo on their first draw" has no outcome: $N(makes~a~Lingo~on~their~first~draw)=0$ $P(makes~a~Lingo~on~their~first~draw)=\frac{N(makes~a~Lingo~on~their~first~draw)}{N(S)}=\frac{0}{21}=0$
