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.
2/11
1/6 if the letter is chosen at random.
The sample space consists of the letters of the word "PROBABILITY" = {P,R,O,B,A,I,L,T,Y}
It is 1/6.
The probability is 1. The letters in the word mathematics are all constants, not variables!
2/11
Probability of choosing a consonant from math = 3/4
The probability is 2/11.
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%.
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 consists of the letters of the word "PROBABILITY" = {P,R,O,B,A,I,L,T,Y}
The odds are 2/11 (two out of eleven), or 18.18%.
It is 1/6.
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%
