What is the probability that Johan, who is one of the applicants, will get a type $B$ scholarship? Suppose that University of the Witwatersrand this year received a total of $18$ scholarship applications from PhD registered students. There are $15$ scholarships available: $5$ type $A$ scholarships, $7$ type $B$ scholarships and $3$ type $C$ scholarships. The rules are that all the scholarships must be awarded and each of the applicants may get at most one of the scholarships. What is the probability that Johan, who is one of the applicants, will get a type B scholarship? (State any assumptions you made in arriving at your answer.) I just want to see different approaches

This is actually a comment, but reputation lacks so I do it with an answer (that will be deleted after some time).

**edit2** (real answer)

If I understand well then $7$ scholarships $B$ are divided over $18$ persons. Johan is one of the $18$ persons and has probability $\frac{7}{18}$ to get a scholarship $B$.
