What is the probability of picking an s in the word Mississippi?
The probability of picking an 's' in the word Mississippi is 100% - you will always find one ... eventually. However if you mean with single choice from the 11 characters of the word Mississippi, then the probability is 4 chances in 11 which is just over 36% or a probability of 0.363636 recurring. My odd answer illustrates the need to pose questions without ambiguity. Beano GB
What is the probability of drawing a vowel from the word mathematics?
You have a total of 11 letters in "mathematics" and you have 4 vowels (a,e,a,i) so the probability of drawing a vowel is 4/11. In other words if you were to consider the vowel's to be 1's and the consonants 2's. What is the probability of drawing a "1". There would be 4 1's and 7 2's. It would be 4/11
What is the probability of selcting two s's if the first card is not replaced before selcting the second card?
There are no s's in a standard deck of cards, so the probability of selecting any s's, in any sequence of draws, in any strategy of replacement is exactly zero.
Why do you think is probability used as basis for inferential statistics?
Inferential statistics are used in situations where it can be assumed that random behaviour(s), subject to the mathematical laws of probability, must be taken into account.
What is classical probability?
Classical probability theory is concerned with carrying out probability calculations based on equally likely outcomes. That is, it is assumed that the sample space has been constructed in such a way that every subset of the sample space consisting of a single element has the same probability. If the sample space contains n possible outcomes (#S = n), we must have for all s 2 S, P(fsg) = 1 n and hence for all E S P(E) = #E n : More informally, we have P(E) = number of ways E can occur total number of outcomes :
What would be the theoretical probability of randomly choosing the letter s from the letters in stars?
There are five letters, and two of them are s's. The theoretical probability of choosing an s would be 2 out of 5.2/5 or 40%
One letter is chosen at random from the word isosceles what is the probability of choosing?
It's not specified what exactly you want to find the probability of, but as a general rule: The word "isosceles" has nine letters, so your denominator will be nine because that is the number of possible choices. To find the numerator, determine how many letters meet the criteria or criterion you want to satisfy. For example: If you want to find the probability of choosing the letter s: there are three "s"s in the word "isosceles," so your numerator would be three, giving you a fraction of 3/9, which reduces to 1/3. If you want to find the probability of choosing a vowel: there are four vowels (i, o, e, e), so your probability would be 4/9. The same principle applies regardless of how the question ends (the probability of choosing ____). Remember that if you want your answer as a percent, you can simply divide the fraction and multiply by 100%.
What is the probability that for S's come consecutively in the word Mississippi?
The probability is 1: it is a certainty. Otherwise the word would not be Mississippi!

How does the contestant of Wheel of Fortune use probability?
When they choose the letters R, S, T, L & N first they are choosing the most probable letters. When they choose to purchase an I after seeing the NG at the end of a word they are choosing the most probable vowel at that location and able that the vowel may still be used elsewhere.When they purchase the E vowel first the are buying the vowel that is used most. When they guess a H after seeing a three letter word beginning with a T they are not using the letter with the highest probability which would be buying the E to confirm that the word is likely the and if it is not the E is likely used elsewhere.

What is the sample space for choosing a letter from the word mathematics?
The sample space is {m, a, t, h, e, i, c, s} which, curiously, is also the sample space for choosing a letter from my user name!
