Question

Choose one of the 50 states at random. a.) what is the probability that it begins with M?????????

Answer 1

12 states start with a vowel.

Answer 2

12/50 = 6/25 = 0.24

Answer 3

you have a 12 out of 50 = 12/50 chance, since there are 12 states starting with vowels. I was just simplifying the fraction to 6/25 (dividing numerator and denominator by 2).
