Question

Based on the observed frequency what is the probability that Jorelle will pick a letter R

Answer 1

To find the probability that Jorelle will pick a letter R, we need to know the total number of letters and the frequency of the letter R.

Let's say the total number of letters is 100 and the observed frequency of the letter R is 10.

The probability of picking a letter R is calculated by dividing the frequency of the letter R by the total number of letters:

P(R) = Frequency of R / Total number of letters
P(R) = 10 / 100
P(R) = 0.1

Therefore, the probability that Jorelle will pick a letter R is 0.1 or 10%.
