The letter ties C, A, R, E, S are placed in a box. Without looking, Jorelle picks a letter tile from the box and record the result before placing it back. If he repeats the procedure 100 times,how many times will letter A be picked?
1 answer
Since the letter tiles are placed back in the box after each pick, the probability of picking letter A each time is 1/5. So out of 100 picks, Jorelle can expect to pick letter A approximately 20 times (100 picks x 1/5 probability).
