Justin writes the letters I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S on cards and then places the cards in a hat. What are the odds of picking an I?

Question

5:3
3:5
2:1
5:7
im thinking its 5:7?

Answer 1

probability of picking i = 3/8
probability of not picking i = 5/8
so
3/8 / 5/8 = 3/5

Answer 2

Nope. I see a total of 8 letters.

Answer 3

Thank you Damon!

Answer 4

there are eight cards in the hat , three of them with an I , five with another letter

3 I's , 5 not .. the odds of an I are 3:5
