The probability is 2/11.
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!
The sample space is {p, r, o, b, a, i, l, t, e, s}
3 in 8, 0.375, if you consider the y as a consonant, 4 in 8, 0.5, if not.
4 because in word perseverance we have 4 letters E
Probability of choosing a consonant from math = 3/4
Since the word "probability" contains only letters, then the probability of choosing a letter from the word "probability" is 1, i.e. it is certain to happen.
The sample space consists of the letters of the word "PROBABILITY" = {P,R,O,B,A,I,L,T,Y}
2/11
The probability is 2/11.
1/6 if the letter is chosen at random.
There are 11 letters in the word mathematics. 2 of those 11 are A's. Probability is therefore 2/11.
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!
The odds are 2/11 (two out of eleven), or 18.18%.
The sample space for choosing a letter from the word SPACE is {S, P, A, C, E}. The sample space for choosing a consonant from the word MATH is {M, T, H}. Consonants are letters that are not vowels (A, E, I, O, U), so in the word MATH, the consonants are M, T, and H.
The sample space is {p, r, o, b, a, i, l, t, e, s}
Well, isn't that a happy little question! In the word "isosceles," there are 3 "e"s, 2 "s"s, 2 "o"s, 1 "i," 1 "l," and 1 "c." So, the probability of choosing any specific letter like "s" would be 2 out of the total 9 letters. Just remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents!
