Best Answer

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.

2 numbers. few probabilities. Lets see. Number 1 probability: if your given numbers are this for example, 2 and 7. What is the probability of picking out 7? the Numerator is how many of that number is in the group. They are asking for 7? so how many 7's are in the group? 1.

There are 2 numbers in the group. so the probability of picking out a 7 would be 1/2. get it? if there were two 7's, then the probability would be 2/2 or 1. I hope I helped.

What is the theoretical probability of spinning a 3 and picking an a?

There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You did not specify how many places and how many 3's there are on the spinner, and you did not specify the set from which you could pick an "a", both of which are necessary pieces of information to calculate probability. Please restate the question.
