Question

You mix the letters M,A,T,H,E,M,A,T, I,C,A and L thoroughly. Without looking you draw one letter. Find the probability P(A). Write the problem as
A fraction in simplest form, a decimal, and a percent

Answer 1

The number of ways to choose one letter out of 11 is 11.

The number of ways to choose the letter A out of the 11 is 2 (there are two A's in the mix).

So the probability of drawing an A is:

2/11

or

0.18 (rounded to two decimal places)

or

18.18% (rounded to two decimal places)
