The word "space" consists of 5 letters: s, p, a, c, and e. If you are choosing one letter at random from these 5 letters, the probability of choosing any specific letter is 1 out of 5, or 20%. If you're looking for the probability of choosing a vowel (a or e), it would be 2 out of 5, or 40%.
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}
The word "forgiving" has 9 letters in total. The consonants in the word are f, r, g, v, and n, totaling 5 consonants. Therefore, the probability of randomly choosing a consonant from the word "forgiving" is 5 out of 9, or approximately 0.56 (56.25%).
The word "mathematics" has 11 letters in total. The consonants in the word are m, t, h, m, t, c, and s, totaling 7 consonants. To find the probability of selecting a consonant, divide the number of consonants (7) by the total number of letters (11), resulting in a probability of 7/11.
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}
The word "forgiving" has 9 letters in total. The consonants in the word are f, r, g, v, and n, totaling 5 consonants. Therefore, the probability of randomly choosing a consonant from the word "forgiving" is 5 out of 9, or approximately 0.56 (56.25%).
