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%.

If a letter chosen at random from the word perseverance what is the probability that theletter chosen is E?

The word "perseverance" has 12 letters in total. The letter E appears 3 times in the word. To find the probability of randomly choosing an E, you divide the number of E's by the total number of letters: ( P(E) = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4} ). Therefore, the probability of selecting an E is ( \frac{1}{4} ) or 25%.
