There are a total of 8 letters in the mix: J,J,K,K,L,M,M,N,P.
Since Terry is equally likely to draw any of the 8 letters, the probability of getting K is 2/8 or 1/4.
Therefore, the probability of not getting K is 1 - 1/4 = 3/4, which is equivalent to 0.75 or 75%.
So the answer is: 3/4, 0.75, 75%.
Jacob mixes the letters, J,K,L,J,K, M,N,M, and P thoroughly. without looking Terry draws one letter expressed as a fraction, decimal, and percentage. What is the probability that K will not be the letter Terry selects?
• 1/4, 0.25, 25%
• 3/4, 0.75, 75%
• 4/3, 1.33%, 13.3%
• 5/8, 0.625, 62.5%
