Hi

contrator one(2x) is twice as likely to win as contractor 3 (x)

contractor two(3x) is three times as likely to win as contractor three(x)

what are the probabilities of winning for each 

P(contractor one) = 2/6 = 1/3

P(contractor two) = 3/6 = 1/2

P(contractor three) = 1/6



Note: 2/6 + 3/6 + 1/6 = 1
