Each inidividual letter of the word Tallahassee is placed on a piece of paper and all 11pieces of paper are placed in a hat, if one letter is selected at random from the hat, determine the probability that the letter T or F is selected.

Answer 1

In the word "Tallahassee", there is only one letter T out of 11 letters, so the probability of getting a T is 1/11.

There is no letter F in the word, so probability of getting an F is 0/11 or 0.

The probability of getting a letter T OR letter F is therefore
1/11 + 0 = 1/11
