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 probability as:
a. a fraction in simplest form
b. a decimal
c. a percent
Okay so, If i were to mix the following letters M,A,T,H,E,M,A,T,I,C,A,L, thoroughly. Then, draw one letter without looking What would be the probability?
I think its 1/12 or 5/12 but im not sure.

There are a total of 12 letters. Out of these, there are 4 A's. So, the probability of drawing an A is:
a. P(A) = 4/12 = 1/3 (fraction in simplest form)
b. P(A) = 0.3333 (rounded to four decimal places)
c. P(A) = 33.33% (rounded to two decimal places)
a. P(A) = 4/12 = 1/3 (fraction in simplest form)
b. P(A) = 0.3333 (rounded to four decimal places)
c. P(A) = 33.33% (rounded to two decimal places)
